I found this little fawn on my walk yesterday. He had a terrible wound on its leg and another on its foot so he couldn’t walk. The RSPCA came and got him. If the leg is broken they’ll put him down no doubt. Maybe I should have left him to be eaten by a badger or fox, they have hungry young too but it was hard to see suffering and walk on by. #deer #wildways #circleoflife

That’s better. Chickens are very happy to have had their run extended.

“What’s that crunching sound, Dad?” “Just a crisp, Son. Go to sleep, your poor Mum needs a break!”

One or two buttercups.

Made a start on the uprights for the chicken fence today. Such amazing weather though, I had to go down the river in the end.

The early morning light caught the newly emerging ash leaves as I walked over to feed the animals. The sky was cloudless, not even a vapour trail and I saw a deer in the field drinking in the morning like I wish I knew how to. He knew I was there but I crept through the dewy clover along the hedge, avoiding the squeak and rustle of the docks. I was so quiet a blackbird nearly burst my ear drum when it sang right in my ear but it wasn’t an alarm call and I managed to avoid startling any pheasants who would’ve given the game away. I finally reached the oak tree close to the deer but he was gone. Just some flattened grass where he’d been sitting, still warm to the touch. So I went home for some coffee.
