How did I miss this thread?Lovely shots. We saw plenty of the Hooded Crows when we were there last time, I think I even got some decent pics of them. Love the lizard shots. :gnthb:

Phew, my daughter can't wait for spring after seeing that. Sprinkles at the ready. Hope she trains them to go after whitefly too though.

YouTube - Amazing Bird Fishes Like A Human This bird fishes better than some of my angling buddies.

Off to Leighton Moss reserve tomorrow, hope the waxwings are still there.

Sorry to hear that, Jazmine. We have had to net our little pond too. Every time I went in the garden there was another cat having a go at fishing!

Whenever I follow a link to you tube, I end up getting engrossed in something. I think I have just watched every creature comfort episodes they ever made. :D Thanks Victoria I really enjoyed that.:thmb:

Cool pictures.

Thanks, Clara......they are really pretty, arent they. Thats the same with the Jays here.....they have that "dont mess with me swagger".......they take over any bird feeder they show up at.

My sis is an animal lover and couldn't bear to have the squirrels in her loft destroyed, so she had a series of humane traps put up there instead. Every now and then, frantic noises in the loft would alert her that she'd got another captive. She'd then climb into the loft, remove trap plus...

The bow wave from the boat made the squid believe they were being hunted and their instinctive mechanism is to leap out of the sea.Read more:Very interesting article Ziggy. But I would like to see some proof of the assertion in the quote above. Dolphins come to swim alongside boats and...

However did I miss this fantastic shot? I almost expect them to come flying out of the picture.Thanks for sharing, Rob. :gnthb::gnthb:

0) I do like the idea of hanging the feeder from the gutter,proberbly on a bent coathanger.....My situation is similar to yours Ziggy. On the TO DO list.....:gnthb:

Is the mouse doing any harm. If the answer is no then I would just leave it alone. If you get the chance to watch them in close up they are quite charming.

Many thanks to you Dave. 2 is an excellent idea and you're right! I'll give that a go. First the birds need to realise my table has seed on it, all day today only a single blue tit bothered eating any, though a starling did walk across it to have a look over the other side. The other 2 answers...

You can paint a baby's cot with gloss paint now. Shame, 'cos I must have really used to like the taste of the old lead based paint.

Woo, well caught.:gnthb:

Hi Kandy thank you ,he has,nt been back since ,must be all the Fireworks going off

Sparrows know what they like ClaraLou. They love my peas and sweet peas and in season they won't leave them alone. As for eating them - well, it seems a shame. How many would you need to make meal ? But wild boar is lovely and I have no problem with that on the menu.
