A very healthy looking cub from the previous year, seen here still with its think Winter coat in glorious morning light. Baffles me why they are still hunted, apparently for sport.

Scottish Wildcat, Northumberland Zoo.
Another critter that I am unlikely to ever catch in the wild, is the Scottish Wildcat (Highland Tiger 😂). A Cat with an awful lot of attitude.

Really good numbers of Ospreys are returning to the UK now. 30(10) the dominant male at the Rutland Osprey hide returned from Africa a couple of days back. Looking to forward to having another crack at them this coming season. Here is one of 30(10) from a couple of seasons back.

My local Red Fox Vixen, giving one of her cubs a good grooming for ticks etc, the cub was less than impressed by this as it went on for a good few minutes. Made for some great intimate moments, photography wise

Northern Gannet Bempton Cliffs.
One of several Gannets seen during the few hours I was there, with the telltale black eye signs of being a survivor of Bird Flu.
Surely these birds breeding can only be a positive thing, hopefully aiding the speces recovery from this awful desease that has decimated these birds over the past couple of years.
