the protector

I took Lesley into her pre school for a planning meeting today (she hopes to be back at work next week) and whilst she was there I walked from Commoners Lott around the woods. They were much larger than I thought and I came across the herd of deer that roam from these parts and over Morley Hayes GC. It looks like the stag has rope entangled on his antlers.
In extra is a kestrel flying by in the rain.
I've blipped early as this evening Im off to Lincolnshire ready for an early start tomorrow in a hide. I'm really hoping to photo a green woodpecker amongst other things. Green woodpeckers have been elusive for me, fingers crossed.
