We are fortunate that so few people care to walk in the soft Suffolk countryside to the west of our house. On Saturday's walk we met no-one until we joined the sea wall along the River Deben, and even then it was only a couple walking their dog. So we have the countryside to ourselves and the wildlife which own it....
....seems happy to ignore us. This kestrel was hovering just the other side of one of the high hedges and seemed unworried by our proximity, only moving a few metres down the road....
....when it wanted to find a good vantage point to look out for mice and voles.
On the far side of one of the big fields we watched a small deer running along the hedgerow. It ran, then suddenly sat down, and only ran again when we moved closer. I'm guessing but it may be a muntjac and that it is this species which....
....leaves its calling cards along the footpaths where they cross the wheat fields.
