If anyone at RSPB Middleton Lakes in Tamworth is wondering why the bird feeder above the duck pond is on the floor today, well, it's because of this guy...

One from a couple of summer's ago. I’m always on the lookout for countryside foxes (when health and energy levels permit), without much success, so stumbling upon this one (quite literally when I fell in a bush a couple of minutes later and scared it off) was a very welcome surprise. I took several other shots and a video of this fox either trying to attack, or simply get round a massive goose and its friends. I’ve never heard such loud honking before! One day I'll set up a YouTube channel and edit some footage to put on there. But not today. Not today. #fox #foxphotography #wildlife_perfection #ukwildlifeimages #your_nature

Ok, last one for a while, but capturing garden birds in flight was quite a fun little project. Challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Particularly as the light isn't very good on my little corner and this was all through the living room window.

Some ducklings have started to appear recently. These ones were hunting midges as they flew above the water surface. They're surprisingly nimble despite being so small, darting around and jumping up to pluck them out of the air. I'm assuming this is
