Compensation

Wednesday and Thursday were both damp and gloomy mornings and failed to show the autumn colours to advantage but compensated with other wildlife. On Wednesday two stags were seen seperately browsing on Blacka Hill, soon moving off when we arrived. Today a group of hinds leapt over the path above Blacka Dyke and were quickly off through trees to the stream below. A little later a large white shape was seen flying a little further west. My only thought was a barn owl but didn't see enough of it to comfirm.
