I had been trying to snap birds this morning or anything else that flies in the field near me (….with mixed results). I took just 6 shots then gave up, cold, but it wasn’t until I took a closer look (later in the warm) that I spotted something else sitting there by the birds as they pecked around….. A RABBIT who was either frozen with the cold like I was or simply unfazed by the birds and me, remaining happy to pose for 4 more shots, unnoticed by me! Here is one of those shots to go with the other two I put up earlier cows can fly and brief encounter ( both odd photos from an otherwise dull cold photo shoot!)

You are a beautiful double act!
I’m having to get used to the idea that there might have been two of you calling here all this time, when I thought you were just one rather beautiful creature! Perhaps you’ll bring along junior next ? (although, me thinks, the bird bath as it is, will not easily accommodate three of you!).
Friday 13 and a full moon tonight. (next one 2049!)
Well the full moon didn’t show up here. Too much cloud and rain and thunder. So here’s two rather handsome crows. And one danced today…….

Moon walk
Dear lovely Em,
Long time no see. Bit of a lonely road to the field where the rabbits are, where the sunset goes down.But after what seems like weeks of no moon in the sky, he arrived last evening!…. Its either been too cloudy or too something at the time the moon might have been there to make a brief appearance….. Either way he was missed even if he could be seen! But last night (as a result of the moon being clear and bright up there above where the kite is caught up in the tree by the road I thought I would take a walk, over to where the sky was getting pinker. And…. As I walked, the moon kept up with me, side on, all the way there. And he stopped when I stopped! And the biggest miracle of all he turned round and walked with me all the way back home, an hour and a half later. One of the times When he stood still I took this photo (raw, so the sky is black though it wasn’t)so here is the close up for you. The best I could do! I reckon he looked better through the trees a bit farther away actually ( on auto) and the sky deep blue. Less rabbits in the field too and the ones that were there ran away! So you got my moon walk! Love Rosie (love to all)

Starlings caught out, sitting on the wire!
This was a photo I took in the dark, but I turned on the light in an editing programme. Wierd !!!
