wildlife

This weekend we saw a stoat, which ran in front of our car as we were on our way to church. It was the first time I had ever seen a stoat, I had to look it up to know what it was. When we got to church there was a pheasant in the car park. I have seen these before, but it is about 25 years since I have seen one so close up. At youth group in the evening (I help to lead it, I am not in denial about my age which is 358 months and a day for anyone who is interested) I saw a pair of goldfinch. I may have seen these before but don't remember if I have.
