A young fox run down by an idiot driving too fast in Farnborough

So fox, the wisest of the animals, waited until N'galla, the creator was busy....then seizing his moment, he darted in and stole the coals containing the first sacred fire. Pursued to earth by N'galla, fox abandonned the coals in a clay pot by a great river. It was here that they were found by the seven sacred women ancestors of creation. The
world was changed forever by this discovery.

What an atmospheric scene.

A lovely young house martin

These small members of the swallow family are truly a delight.  They are gathering now before flying to  West Africa for the winter. Each year less and less retun.

Sweet Chestnuts

The lovely Hawley chestnuts will soon be ready to roast! Come and join me in a feast.

Wall Lizard

The wall lizard has been introduced into several sites in Surrey and Hampshire. It does not appear to be doing any harm though some scientists advocate it's destruction. I doubt that is possible as large populations already exist. They are really very CUTE!

Yellow Horned Sea Poppy

What a marvellous plant. Sadly it is vanishing as well as more and more people flock to the shingle beaches of the South Coast of England and destroy the plant in their haste to get to the sea.

Marsh Gentians

These are one of our rarest and fastest declining plants. They are also one of our most beautiful. In North Hampshire, they are very rare indeed and fast vanishing. See them while you can and breathe in the beauty of their scent and feast your eyes on the ethereal blue of the sky they hold within their petals.
