Visiting


It's good to see signs that many people have been visiting Blacka over the holiday period. There's been more to enjoy than in the preceding weeks of mud and squelch. The hardening of the ground is welcome up to a point but once the cycle of freeze and melt and freeze again gets going walking can be a treacherous process near other people's footprints.
Other visitors were around this morning.


These were not the usual residents but a group of itinerant stags who seemed to have spent some of the night sheltering in the woods. Two of them were clearly young with only partly formed antlers. But two were quite mature showing a full set of points.
