Spiders in the mist

Prestwick Carr was emerging from the overnight mist during this morning’s stock check.  The sheep, cattle and ponies were well spread out around the Carr and thus took a long time to find but all were present and healthy when they were found – unusually it was the sheep that were easiest to find today.  

Reed buntings, a flock of goldfinches, a kestrel and a buzzard were among the birds to be seen while a roe dear leapt out of the way past the ponies.  It was, however, the spider’s webs that were most impressive with their beads of dew and the spider sitting tight in the centre.
