I have an old Land rover which I use to get around on my Small Holding at Winchcombe in Gloucestershire. It is so useful and also comes in handy these days to support my other hobby which is wildlife photography. It is amazing how wildlife does not see vehicles as a threat. If I am lucky I can turn the engine off and they just carry on with their every day business. This gives me some great opportunities to capture some images.

The Roe Deer have got particularly used to it. I always try to drive away without disturbing them, and this is always a good investment for the next time.

Raptors are very much more timid and you definitely need the camouflage over the window to get anywhere near them.

The Land rover has done so much work over the years and has also seen a few adventures along the way. It is such a great companion.

Spring is around the corner, always a great time for us wildlife people.
Keep getting out there!
