I think there is supposed to be a Muntjac in this photo but it evaded me. Apparently they are like Rats around here so I am sure to track one down eventually. Instead please observe the features of the car park where there is a small area for buying firewood and wood chips.
I live on a fen. It is very nice, filled with reeds and water and woodlands. Observe the fen:
On the fen lives much beautiful wildlife including this most yellow of the butterflies: The Brimstone. Alas I did not tarry to photograph it properly, I wanted to get on and see the Prairie Dog.
The Prairie Dog, a Black-Tailed Prairie Dog to be precise, inhabits a field by the reserve. He has excavated a homely burrow system and his passtimes involve burrowing and sunbathing. These pastimes surely do not distract him from his sad and lonely life, but apparently if he ever finds love then he and his Lady Dog will be shot to prevent a repeat of the Prairie Dog outbreak in Ireland. The humanity.
