HIDE SUCCESS
Following the initial success of the bag hide close to the feeders, I decided to move the hide to avoid the white sky effect which results in too much back light.
The birds didn't seem to mind the move and again used me as a perch on several occassions.
All four members of the Woodpecker family were in the garden yesterday with 3 on the fence whilst one visited the feeders.
Later in the afternoon the garden had another new visitor in the shape of a Brown rat.
An hour of laying low near the gate to one of the local fields resulted in nothing other than a fly over kestrel and swallows doing low level fly by's. Having seen the Buck Roe Deer earlier and with a favourable wind I had hoped for a close encounter. When I got upto leave I noticed that the doe had been feeding out of sight from my position and was heading away from me. I quickly changed position in time to get the shot below. This afternoon I'm to try again with the help of the bag hide, fingers crossed and check tomorrow to see if I finally manage to get the shots I'm after.
