I voted for Bob, even though I think Bob is fake. I've never known a squirrel to develop a website or using the English language before. I suspect someone might have done it in his name. I would even go so far as to say that Bob doesn't even know about this. Bob is a victim of identity theft.

Found another tiny white Crab Spider, although it did stand out not exactly camouflaged against green Oleander leaves.

Love those graceful Avocets Strongy, thanks for sharing your visit with us, Jenny

As said above, Newts only need water to breed ( March /April) they will feed on small invertebrates for the rest of the year apart from during hibernation.

it does have different names across the UK

Spiders are currently putting webs up across the full width of the garden, thats roughly 10ft! Very impressive, less so when I can't see them coming.

Unlucky for the bee:(My son and I spent 20 minutes rescuing a bumblebee once, after it flew into the web of a gigantic spider in our outhouse. It took 20 minutes because we were keen for neither creature to be injured. I tried to knock the approaching spider away from the stricken bee with a...

I 've just caught up with this thread,would you believe it... If you've got an old large cuddly toy you could sit that on the patio over night,I used to have one sat next to my pond,charity shops are always selling them cheap too

That must have been a wonderful experience.

Disturbing the snake while it is trying to eat is bound to have an effect!Nigel, as you probably know, yours is about to slough so the colour is duller as the skin is loosening and the eyes have clouded over.

Ours has a bell, it drives us potty but doesn't seem to stop her! Admittedly she catches more mice & voles than she does birds, apparently they hunt birds differently to rodents

Great pictures Strongy!

Thanks all. No sign of mr frog today so decided to tip it out as I'm allergic to mosquito bites.

The starlings are permanent around my garden all year round but as autumn creeps in - as of now, the numbers start to build usually around a hundred settling on the overhead cables that run through my garden. They also make good use of my bird bath although I don't feed them or any birds because...

Who won???

They might be masonry beesDave

Hi all, Hope you don't mind a quick question as found your forum and I'm in awe of the bee related knowledge on show I have a tiny garden, and have had a Lavatera Barnsley Baby planted for the last couple of years. Its grown massive, but I have found that although everywhere says Lavatera...

Nice PeacockI found this tiny Crab Spider on a Hellenium, the flowers are red so it will need to do some colour change if it's going to catch anything.

Marvellous Nigel....those picture are a good reminder for us all to look that bit closer

Out for cycle ride yesterday evening along the lanes to a local beach. We saw Kestrels, Swallows and one 150g baby hedgehog! Had look around but no sign of mum or other babies. He's so tiny and curled and went to sleep in my hand. Too small to be left out on his own,so is now residing in my...
