A few photos from a local walk round here with the camera and the 200-800mm. There's never anything 'exciting' but you can get close to common species here and get some nice photos.

At home a bit later, a Jersey Tiger moth was on the outside of the dining room glass doors. The glass is covered with dog nose prints.

This is why we can't have nice things. The hide at Alverstone Mead was vandalised, again, by some little wastes-of-elements who thought it would be a good idea to smash the door lock, presumably to see what would be worth stealing. They're probably the ones who chucked a can in the river - I wasn't able to get down there to retrieve it.
I don't know why people do this. It's probably the same sort of mindset that caused a load of pea-brains to smash up city centres and mosques, loot shops and throw things at police at the beginning of August just because they hate immigrants or people from ethnic minorities. It takes effort to go into the countryside and wreck something instead of enjoying nature. There are no adequate words to describe how much I despise and feel contempt for people like this, apart from describing them as fucking morons.
