Scrapbook ~ Wildlife walks throughout the year There may be droughts
in other parts of the country and we're not particularly splashing in H2O
here in West Sussex, but our afternoon/evening walk was set in almost constant, lush vegetation. We
had
to dodge a few showers on the Downs but the late afternoon and evening were dry,
clear and perfect. This halcyon day was vastly enhanced by the amount of wildlife
that we
were lucky enough to see, which today included; a Peregrine at Amberley Station
and another at Burpham, two Red Kites at The Burgh, a Barn Owl near North
Stoke and best of all, a family of Stoats living beside the railway. We watched them play
and fight for ages and were amazed at the knots they seem to tie themselves in:
they are so bendy! Eventually mum brought a young rabbit back to the den and
they all disappeared for dinner!
