common_nature Well, you knew I'd post some fungus!
Not a good shot as I didn't have a long lens. These are fallow deer although we do also have red and roe locally.
Sheeps! These are of the Romney breed originally from my home county of Kent down in the south east.

Nettles are easily overlooked, but they are beautiful:
This is black bryony in berry. Otherwise known as lady's seal locally. Highly toxic!
