A showy Fox in Eastney.

Friday 31st January 2025.

Three Pied Wagtails walked up to me on Pembroke Road this morning!

Well, that's the first month of the year gone already and it hasn't been too bad a month for the birds with 125 species recorded for January. The weather has played a major part this month, with plenty of rain, but a few nice days to get out and about, especially on the Saturdays with both Geoff and Andy.

This Fox, a vixen I believe, was on the main road in Henderson Park, Eastney. I took these photos using my phone through the car windscreen.

Today kicked off wet again although it virtually stopped when I started my first shift in Pembroke Road, Old Portsmouth, where there were just 12 species seen this morning. Around lunchtime, I was driving through Henderson Park, Eastney; where a Fox was seen having a scratch on the main road and then trotted off through the Caravan Park.

A quiet day in Hampshire with a Red-necked Grebe seen off Hill Head and a Ruff seen on Titchfield Haven.
