As I mentioned in my previous post I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of wildlife at Center Parcs. The feeders in front of the hide were especially good. At least 1 lesser redpoll was about. Which was joined by the many siskin. As you can see most the photos were unfortunately on the feeders…
Some more shots from Donna Nook. A female seal gets aggressive. A reflection shot. And a nice pair of whiskers! Sadly everywhere there are young being raised, there are are some that don’t make it.

My trip to Donna Nook was pretty productive and I have enough photos for at least a couple more posts. Including this one of a mother and pup. A female making a racket. Another lying around. I got a close up of a seal being aggressive to another. Some more of the pups. Some seal…

A few months I had a nice encounter with a tame fox, and the weather was kind too. I started taking shots with the 300mm. Then switched to the 100mm for full body shots.

Back on Pitsea Landfill site and photographing the wonderful foxes there. This particular fox seemed to have got something stuck in is teeth and pulled a sucession of great poses. Before stopping to lick is paw clean.
