Taking Advantage

Wild animals are opportunists. In this they may resemble certain aspects of humanity.


The bank voles are taking advantage of the milder temperatures and the seed deposited each day for the birds. It was tempting enough to bring out two of them.


The large stag who's been roaming solitary across Blacka lately has an almost white face, more noticeable from a distance.



There's plenty of variability in colouring among the local deer but this is the most striking. Still none is quite as dramatic as the black stag I once saw. It was a bit disappointing later to find he had been rolling in a peat bog.
