This was definitely my last visit of the year and my main objectives were to see and photograph Red Foxes …. I failed!
Despite placing a carefully prepared post-Christmas breakfast buffet (roast chicken remains, gravy, dog food and dog biscuits) at a location where I have previously seen Red Foxes and sitting under my bag hide for 2 hours, my favourite UK mammal refused to put in an appearance.
I did hear 2 Reeves’ Muntjacs continually “barking” in very close proximity to where I sat and I had a very brief view of one.
Given the lack of Red Foxes, I resigned myself to long-distance corvid photography!

Redwing: a few briefly heard calling in the northern section of the site but none seen
Chaffinch: 1 seen again in the northern section of the site
Great Spotted Woodpecker: 1 or possibly 2 seen in trees in the northern section of the site
