Andy spotted this little frog in the garden today and fearlessly captured it in his Tilley hat (nothing but the best for our family) and I dropped a few frames on it with the D700 and micro Nikkor.

 

 

The Great Escape.

A nide of young pheasants walked through the village today; they were last seen heading for Midford.
