A jackdaw stalking around the churchyard at Burford church, ignoring the steady stream of sightseers.
Oxfordshire: fallen walnut
Fallen from a roadside walnut tree, one of the nuts lying in the grass.
Oxfordshire: lying donkey
Donkey lying down in a field. It was still quite early in the morning, but already very hot. The donkey was devoting all its efforts to trying to persuade flies to stop bothering it.
Oxfordshire: common fleabane
Common fleabane coming to the end of its flowering season. On a plant growing in the extensive green space of Christ Church Meadows, by the River Cherwell in Oxford.
Oxfordshire:swan and cygnets
A swan and her two cygnets which kept swimming up and down on the River Windrush at Burford. There was no sign of a cob.
Oxfordshire: horses on a sunny morning
Five or six sleek horses, each with a young foal, in a steeply rising field on a very warm sunny morning. One mare running, closelfy followed by her foal. All the others standing in a group, sharing the small patch of shade cast by the neighbouring wood.
One picture in the middle of the sequence shows a horse with a coat, which was grazing in another field a little further down the same quiet road.
