spent a fruitless morning checking out a possible roe location, no signs at all but plenty of muntjac scampering around

thought i'd check out a possible new vole location while i was out as i am getting increasingly frustrated with my current one, turned out very well, plenty of plops as i walked along and it seems very photogenic with much lower banks, the voles aren't as numerous or tame but to be honest the old ones were spoiling me a bit in that respect so it'll do me good to try a little harder
Also a dog-walker mentioned a kingfisher goes by alot in the summer so i'll have a crack at that too, all in all a fruitful day
