Here it is, the video for this year’s deer rut! I didn’t have as much time as I normally do to get out onto the heath for filming, what with the book release of Smugglers and Secrets, Book 4 of the Witches of the New Forest series at the end of October. But I did manage to film some old favourites, including Aelfric, Boromir, Faramir, Theoden, Merry and Pippin!

New video now up: The Goddess, Freya
Here’s the new video now up on my YouTube channel, including the stunning scenery of the gorse on the Suffolk heathlands 🙂
And it was all yellow…
While out filming for another full-length video, I came across this stunning scenery on the heath and just had to make a short video with it. Enjoy!
Every October, something special happens…
Last night in the garden…
Guess who just got a wildlife cam? We hope to capture some of our lovely visitors to the back garden over the course of this year, to share with you all.

Deer on the Heath (Part Two)
The rut is now over, and the heath is quiet. The deer are, of course, still there, but the stags are no longer calling in the twilight hours. The mists have crept in, the air is chill, and the days are short. And yet, there is beauty all around.

This is just a glimpse into what I’ve seen these last two weeks. Magical.
