Friends and Not Friends

The rain knocked our hide down but that was ok, we rebuilt it a bit better this time.


We worked on our paths. This only really means sweeping leaves and dead wood out of the way. It is easily reversible and non invasive. The paths serve two purposes: They stop me from getting lost so often and they enable us to walk quietly from A to B, something the animals can't do.


Max found a little friend and got in touch with his gentle side.


We weren't able to get a positive id but it may be a Black cap. I'll try again.


Max singularly failed to get gentle with several rabbits. Two things I have found out about wild rabbits: They seldom survive for more than a year and don't stray more than 200 yards from thier burrow.


So Watership Down was made up then? More about rabbits


This buttefly is a common sight along the wayleave but no less valued.

And finally, I am advised by experts that this is tatty and worthless. Fortunately I dont have expert eyes, I have the eyes of a colour matcher. You will see more of my Razorstrops.
