I'm sorry, I'm going to keep it brief today as I am trying to get a report done for a client for tomorrow and it's not going easily.
As you may have spotted - it's autumn! Leaves have been turning colour and falling since August, but we are now starting to see some good colour, including Red and Amber maples in town. In the One Acre Wood, the colour is provided by Common Service (also known as Chequers - yes, the same as the PM's country mansion or many pubs). Here is a bit looking particularly fine!
The pheasant shooting season will open soon in the UK, I'm not sure when it is here. They aren't native and they aren't bright, but they do seem to like the Orchard and the Meadow. Here is one fine fellow.
I also spotted a garden helper late one night after I had locked up the chickens, in the guise of Timid Toad, although actually he wasn't at all timid, he just sat and glared at me until I took my torch away.
The boar have been back to have another go at the walnuts and have also attacked the trail camera more than once. There are videos, but I'm afraid today, that would take too much time to sort out, so how about a few photos instead?
So now I'd better get back to my report, but before I go, you can read up on the project here and if you like what you read, please consider voting for the Marches Mosses BogLIFE in the ICE People's Choice Awards!
