Went out to for a little forest walk today with a good friend. We went at what he calls not too late, or for a normal person like me, the ungodly hour of a quarter to 6 in the morning.
This in fact did give us a good chance to see some of the roe deer inhabiting the place. We ended up seeing 2 of them. Both of them were barking with a monkey like sound. This was the best shot we could get:
I tried to lure them to uswith a special whistle that I borrowed from a another friend, but it only spooked them. I probably didn't do it right.
I then spotted a wasp spider, I learned about those through this forum, and this is probably the least common spider I've identified so far!
Managed to film it at work too. I was happy.

We'd set ourselves the challenge of building a working bowdrill with just a knife and paracord, as this was a skill my friend really wanted to learn.
An ember at the first try! Practice really does pay of

Anyone know what these are?
Good times
