My thoughts and feelings about the wildlife I see. I am drawn to the vanishing wildlife I encounter, such as the wood-white butterfly, the nightingale and the endangered smooth snake. To these could be added the ancient Shoebill Stork, the Mysterious Marabou, the Mountain Gorilla and the Chimpanzee....and a host of others, great and small.

A beautiful male stonechat
The stonechats are tiny robin sized birds with a big personality. They are among my favourite birds and the males are especially feisty, "tapping" madly if you get too close and flickling their wings. I also think they are amazingly beautiful and their stone tapping sound is one of my favourite sounds on the heath. Look out for them now as they are nesting again after returning from Africa.
