a plant intruder

 It was once suggested I put some grain in a bowl to attract animals , it didn't work and anyway this is a sculpture park not a bird table ,the animals are visitors.the grain grew a bit then died off but has reappeared this autumn

 the woods today

 an earlier visit

this pigeon used to be a regular , maybe still is I'm just not looking in the right direction

human intruder

 Iwas away over the weekend and only recorded a human intruder

 someone has been sitting on this sculpture

 and the moss is growing better on this one

 lichen and moss on cast concrete

autumn fruits

no movement at the octopus's garden

 this is the site for the camera this weekend as there was no more movement up the top (probably I'm just too impatient)

 the 'puddles' installation is getting a clean up

 this is the male roe deer only seen at night

wild boar activity

 despite hunting dogs running all over the park yesterday last night there was some wild boar activity , unfortunately not in front of the camera trap.Ideally I could do with a couple more.But those boar are not really interested in the artworks they just charge past.

Posidonia

 yesterday I moved the camera up to where the remains of an installtion called 'octopussy's garden' that was origionally exibited in 2006 at Cap D'ail. this is made of Posidonia a marine grass.

 the roe deer have been nibling it perhaps they like the salt.

 theres that red light again

 who cares?

 this is what it looks like in daylight

and this is what it used to look like, before itwas exiled from the seaside to the slopes of the Mt Ventoux

woodpecker

 this morning a woodpecker visited the bowl , this is a first sighting tho I often hear them

 strangely the water in one of these bowls never goes stagnant, its also the one animals prefer to drink from.

although I call this the wild wood it was once all cultivated as these old terrace walls show

tooth and claw

 a little mouse having a drink doesn't know we are watching ,and we are not theonly ones----

 moving up quickly

 its gone!

only here for a drink
