It feels like we’re in-between-times. Grasshoppers and butterflies must be about to appear in force. I saw two muntjac this morning – this one was quite solid. The one I saw later skipped up in the air and over the path and vanished before I’d gathered my wits/camera etc.
Two days ago I crept up on a hare only to discover that it was a lump of earth. This morning I ignored a lump of earth which then jumped up and ran across the field – so, no hares today.
