A little bit of cheek from Saturdays ride, bonus points of you can work out where it is.

how long were you sat waiting for that Redthunder? Or was it just luck? Nice shot.

@whippersnapper.

Spotted the deer and done a bit sneaking. Fire off a few shots and got one I was happy with.

Slightly planned and a bit of luck and with a compact 🙂

Yesterday evening somewhere in Bristol…..

(Not bad for a phone pic methinks…) 🙂

redthunder – super shot! Well done. 8) Interesting how the roe aren’t wearing their summer coat yet. On Saturday we watched 3 at Swinley … or rather they watched us. Didn’t run off which is most unusual.

Everyone else – great pics, keep ’em coming!

Crappy camera pics from yesterday evening …

Top of Church Hill, Findon, Sussex

North western end of Wepham Woods, between Worthing and Arundel. Apologies for the quality of the pic, it was getting a bit dark by this time. Wepham always gives a fantastic show, but this year looks exceptional. For some reason the flowers at the eastern end of the woods seem to be slower emerging than the west.

Stanmer Park, Brighton this morning (taken on iPhone);

Great photo’s!

I’m now going to have to go out on my bike to check on my local bluebells (that and it’s too nice a day to be in!).

Back from today’s Dunley Wood/Old Simms Copse ride and the Bluebells are really looking good.

Lovely big old tree in this photo.

Wow! More terrific pics. 🙂

Are people finding their local displays as good as previous years? I’ve been disappointed by some of my favourite haunts. 🙁

Redthunder, whereabouts are your photos taken? I guess North of Bristol, but I don’t know the area. Great shots as usual.

redthunder – saw another deer yesterday and in fact it hadn’t even seen me, how unusual is that? Still in Winter coat though. Of course in a couple of weeks time the fawns will be born.

Looks like most people’s are more advanced than ours, which are only just coming out. Somewhere in the Chilterns yesterday:

Taken on phone about an hour ago at Stanmer Park (South Downs, Brighton). Had a great ride; softened my rear shock, new Candys, fast smooth trail and beautiful view make for a cracking sesh. Spontaneously took a surprise drop off on the way out of the park and nailed it, I was smiling most of the way home 😀
