Orphan Whooper Swan cygnet - Dog Fox and Vixen

 
This had me puzzled at first till I got closer using the P1000's long zoom, a Whooper with a Mute family.

The last videos for a while, unless BT Openreach can fix my broadband soon. A great system now, caused by the separation of parts of BT, they sent out a "Home Technician" who confirmed he had found what I reported and told him, it was slow and the line was noisy! He has now passed it back for Openreach to look at the line which is currently crackling over the dial tone. 
Progress, next instead of speaking to people over the phone we'll instead exchange multiple electronic messages which will be mis-understood and cause confusion or even offence....


My garden visiting Vixen, it had spotted a Dog Fox  might try and upload a video of the Dog Fox but it might take hours or fail

It did take a while!  Dog Fox and Vixen (1280)

A quote I read today about eating gamebirds, "unlike all other types of meat, gamebirds are exempt from lead testing, even though these birds have all been killed with lead ammunition". They say that it was lead poisoning that led to the downfall of the Roman Empire, lets hope that more of the people doing the shooting eat the birds! (Although this was in an article about shot birds that had been dumped at the side of a road) maybe nobody wants to eat them?
