Wildlife

Walking in the evening by the disused canal just outside of Stroud with Barbara, we saw three foxes. Two were cubs. As they were safely the other side of the canal, they crouched low in the grass and watched us watching them.


This morning, as I lifted the lid of the compost bin to dispose of some kitchen waste, I saw the slow-worm again. It was about a foot long, slender and shiny, black and burnt brown, beautiful.
