Introducing G !

Geoffery the new member of the pack

Almost a perfect first 2 weeks introduction to his new home, Geoffery my new rescue English Springer of 20 months. He blotted his copybook yesterday by revealing his passion for chasing birds in particular the local magpies, catching one  before I managed to finally grab his attention and put him back on his lead. He and Ollie are getting on fine albeit a little too energetically first thing in the morning.

Still on a break from volunteering although no bad thing while I am settling in Geoffery and coping with the high temperatures.

lots of meadow browns but not many comma's!

On the local wildlife front had a good couple of days with 2 Comma's, first this year Marble Whites, a bullfinch, green woodpecker and three ravens. This late evening being especially good with my first sighting of one of the fox cubs and  a very young roe deer {didn't see the adult although the grass is pretty long}.

Strangest sighting in June was down in Cornwall, where Geoffery was fostered, near Lostwithiel on the river Fowey. Lying on the far river bank, someway from its usual habitat, was an adult seal.
