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..

Some amazing pictures and view there! Adore the Sika fawn, how very fortunate you were to have it come so close. Thanks for sharing

Yep, a Belgian nuthatch. Lovely, Jenny

I'm not sure whether the Blackbird is native to the Grand Canaria, it probably is but it is a little known fact that they sometimes migrate, Scandinavian Blackbirds do come to the UK in cold winters like Redwings and Fieldfares and some UK birds move to france in the winter so they can cover...

After all that dull miserable weather, it's good to know they were just waiting patiently in the wings. Lovely bright colours in the piccies MJ, Jenny

holy cr@p!

This is the same thank you I got in Bucks from taking them out of the mouths of my cats .. who didn't want to eat them but bring them as presents. Their bite is actually quite nasty ... sharp!

me too, thanks to both of you.

I wouldn't have a problem with the culling, although I would prefer to spend my time on other, more pleasant things in life. Loving the peanut butter/plaster of paris idea! Thank you!

ah cool!!!

Oh I do understand the joys of watching wildlife; the previous people used to encourage foxes and at one point in time, there was a den in the back end of the garden.

And usually mutters "God, not again" before writing it. The staff have to stop him climbing on the chair and kicking it away after modifying his best tie.

Thanks but definitely not that Loli. I'm 99% certain it's not a moth. I wish I could draw better, at least then it would give a better idea.

no, defo not a grey wagtail, i've seen them in my garden. I think it was a garden/willow warbler. maybe i'll see it again.

Water forget-me-nots....they flower from may to....don't know how long but mine are still going strong and the bees love them

Brilliant

Oh, oh, oh ... that baby Baboon is a babe and a half ... can I have it please? I've named him Alfie although he may be a girl ... look at that crew cut, how cute is that?
