mammals – Richard Carter

Chilling sound

A vixen screams.

The offcumden squirrels have been making nuisances of themselves again.

Spectacular winter light, and a brace of deer.

Under self-imposed semi-house-arrest. Phase two of the Squirrel Wars. Binge reading. A brace of anniversaries.

My first mole.

Spooked some roe deer.

The last day of summer. An opening salvo against the squirrels.

Buzzards, wasps, a kestrel, and a bunny.

The buck stops here—but not for long.

A friend’s dogs are frightened by an unexpected guest. Another dog remains as reluctant as ever.
