Continuing on from the blog a couple of weeks ago, one thing that I have been made much more aware of is the varied wildlife that surrounds me.
There is rarely a day where I don’t see a buzzard flying by, or a squirrel scampering off to the nearest tree. In the fields next to our house rabbits are a constant sight, as indeed are deer and foxes. I’ve spent many an evening trying to get as close as possible to photograph the animals as they show themselves at dusk. Unfortunately the lenses I have at my disposal do not enable me to get close enough for decent photographs to be taken.
Last week, when cycling to work, I had a special treat.
From my house I have to go up a lane before coming to a junction that joins on to the old main road to Frome (Called Brottens road).

My knowledge of wildlife is rather limited but seeing these wonderful creatures on a regular basis really encourages me to want to know more.
My biggest problem is that I have too many other interests and so find it difficult to spend as much time as I’d wish on learning something new.
This week's update is the village of Hemington.
I'm on location in France at the moment, hence the early updqte, so next week's blog will have news on where I've been and what photographs you have to look forward to viewing to on my return.
Thanks for reading, more coming your way next week.
