Wildlife Corner

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?

Just seen my first wasp of the year.

Good job it was a Meadow Brown then this time Tony

..........and then it was hopping I had a walk round the garden last night after the storm had cleared away to leave a lovely sunset and there were young frogs everywhere, counted at least 30 on the bottom lawn alone and they were also in the veg patch, a few on the patio and even 3 or 4 in...

Yes Bilbo it's a Forest Bug....same family as shield bugs...
