Eartham Fallow Deer


A sunny Sunday afternoon walk around Eartham woods was rewarded by great views of a Fallow Deer stag and six does. Very few birds visible, only saw Chaffinch, Buzzard, Robin, Crow and Kestrel. In the morning a confused Red Admiral decided to wake up and sun itself....butterflies in January?

Edit: 22/05/09 I've just read on the Sussex Butterfly Conservation website that the first Red Admiral of the year was sighted at Lewes on 17th January, three days earlier.
