Worcester Wildlife

During some of the treks I've been on recently, it's been amazing to see so much wildlife on display within walking distance of my own house.

On one hike alone, I startled two deer; almost trod on a hare who waited until the last moment before making a break for it; surprised a host of pheasants; and saw buzzards soaring gracefully, crying out in an attempt to scare some prey out from cover.

What isn't so much fun is realising that I have to trudge across an entire field of freshly ploughed earth.  The picture on the left is of a field that went on for over a kilometer.  It was hard work on the legs, and contributed to my walking boots disintegrating.  With sadness, I was forced to recycle them, having walked miles and miles in the them, and to buy a new pair.
