Weasel Mustela nivalis248 viewsMy mate Dave initially told me this was a Stoat, claiming a Weasel is weasily recognised but a Stoat is stoataly different - well opinion is now divided, with another learned friend saying it's a Weasel, which I'm also leaning towards.
It's a poor/out of focus shot which doesn't help with ID, photographed @ Bradshaw Lane Pilling

Whooper Swan246 viewsWhilst driving down Fluke Hall Lane, Pilling, I turned a corner to see this Whooper Swan running towards me with a tractor right behind it, when the swan saw me coming it veered off the road into the hedgerow & became entancled in the branches there. After watching it for a while it became apparent it was stuck, so I phoned the RSPCA, who agreed to send someone out & asked me to wait with the swan until they arrived.

Brown Hare245 viewsI spotted this Brown Hare crouched down in a form & recalled reading that they will stay like that as you approach in the hope you can't see them. I managed to get quite close (see next shot) before it legged it, photographed @ Cockersands nr Pilling

Whooper Swan245 viewsGotcha - within the hour a young lady from the RSPCA arrived, she was absolutely brilliant. She quickly but carefully grabbed the swan & removed it from the hedgerow with the miimum of fuss, she was obviously very confident handling the bird, I wouldn't have fancied getting in range of it's beak.
