Spent a very pleasant couple of hours up on the hills today, looking for Dartfords. I think I found three pairs, but they were very mobile, so maybe just four birds.

Staple plain, Quantock Hills.

Commended in this year's LPOTY comp.

A lovely pair of grey wagtails, Motacilla cinerea, were collecting insects for youngsters which must still have been in the nest as we didn't see them anywhere.

This is the female.

There is no natural standing water on the Quantock Hills, so artificial 'dew ponds' have been created to provide water for the resident wild Exmoor ponies and some of the livestock that call this place home.

Still no snow this winter, so one from last time, just to nudge the memories of the weather gods ...

So... After spending a couple of hours stalking Red deer on the Quantock hills, (not those tame Richmond Park ones), I managed to get into position down wind for a nice group shot in the sun, when a bloomin' jogger appeared on the ridge and scattered them... Grrr... Luckily I found a few more down in the woods... Well, it was more like they found me and stopped for a gawp before going on their way.
