'Not as cute as me...'

...was my youngest son's controversial claim as we cooed over the litter of five boarlets crossing the road in broad daylight with their mother near my parents house in the Forest of Dean.

Infant boar versus...

...infant Moore. Which is cutest?

And here's mum (of the boar, obviously. Rowan's mum is much better looking, but equally shy).

We were on the way back from New Fancy view where up to 4 Goswhawks had put on a display. They were on the far limit of being photographable - unlike this Chiffchaff which was almost too close to focus.

Goshawk - said by my dad to have 'wings like a Spitfire' - not a bad description
