Wildlife Corner

Thanks for the suggestions guys! To be honest they don't look like that, as Rusty said I think the most likely culprit are the blackbirds I see bobbing around the place. Unfortunatley I don't live at this house, it is my dad's house and is let to holiday makers for much of the year so I can't be...

Mine died last week , found him on the lawn just one of those things I suppose. I have buried him under the Mulberry tree Pamdish is correct if you see them out in the daytime something not right best thing to do is put in a box in a warm place and contact a local hedgehog (helper) ?...

Dam missed it.....

A mate of Mine spends his spare time taking photos of insects/plants, he only does it as a hobby, but I think he rival most professionals, take a look.

Sprayed the boundaries (and hole) with Jeyes Fluid (thanks for the idea, Zigs) . May have to do it again now that it's rained but I hope he has been deterred.

It depends on what sort of neighbours you are talking about though Aesculus.

...I see what you did there, very good

Hi All,Today I have purchased a new Gardman feeder station for the birds in the garden. After putting it in place and putting food on I came in and make a cuppa. Within 10 minutes there were 2 squirrels on it. I was thinking of buying a baffle for the pole. Has anyone got one of these and do...

No, you stupid babies, the nipples are underneath.

That's very interesting and explains why its difficult to get them out of the house once they are in. I keep a child's fishing net handy for rescue and release purposes.

I pointed my camera at him!

It's ok but a close up would have been better!!

I'll go out & try to catch one for you

I know I have frogs in residence in the above wildlife hotel but yesterday I spotted a wood mouse popping in and out of one of the tunnels just before dark

that's right strongylodon and than you for identifying it

Doesn't the fur stick in your throat, Ziggy???

Hi, Furry Tail, the Daddy Longlegs over here are the Crane Flies. I'd not seen this type of one before though.

Thanks Woo, the Panasonic fz150 was worth getting even though I struggled with focusing at times. Here's a couple more I haven't posted. White Headed Barbet, looks like a cross between a Woodpecker and a Kingfisher. Eastern Chanting Goshawk

Thanks Mum; it's a nice compact digital, an Olympus sp350, I've had it for about 6 or 7 years now and never found a fault with it. For a non-SLR camera it has quite a fast shutter speed and is 8.2mp..
