Just had a stroll with BB (my lass), walked up the track leading from the cottage to the back woods (about 200 yards). Standing at the end of the lane we heard a loud barking..it got closer. Out from the woods cam a Roe deer doe..chased by a larger darker buck. It was twighlight and we were still and quiet..The buck barked and moved towards the doe who moved away..he lost interest and started browsing over the field towards us. The doe followed him. The wind was from them into our faces. They eventually passed us in the failing light within 10 yards.
All the time the barn owls were calling, mixing in with the raucous calls of cock phesants calling mates and territory. Just briefly as the light failed a buzzard joined in.
Smiling, we walked the 200 yards home as long eared bats (and one larger one) flew within three feet of our heads
Alls right with the world
