Old Coach Road

A leisurely stroll along  the Coach Road this morning produced a few bits and pieces, including several Lapwings displaying, which is always nice to see. I also had a Stoat trotting along the road, totally oblivious of me until it got around 20 feet away, at which point it saw me a dashed off into the roadside vegetation.
