The Animal World, Horses Social Distancing near Dover, UK

The photo was taken on the 3rd of April, 2020 about 200 yards west of Elms Wood House on Elms Vale Road, a Dover to West Hougham country lane.

The view is looking west towards West Hougham with part of Long Wood visible at top left:


A few minutes earlier I had seen a large fox padding along the lane some 80 yards in front of me.

I stopped to take a photo (my camera has a 250mm zoom lens)  but a car coming up from behind alarmed the fox and it disappeared into the hedgerow.

Oh well, better luck next time!

The location the photo was taken from is marked "P" on the  map:



Cycle route: Dover to Capel-le-Ferne via West Hougham then returning to Dover via the B2011 Folkestone Road after joining it at the Winehouse Lane junction at Capel.
