Wildlife Corner

We have a 'resident' sparrowhawk. Luckily with the number of sparrows around here, it doesn't make much impact on the population. It seems to enjoy eating pigeons too, usually on my lawn!

Love the bottoms up one.

Looks like it's Wartsen Hall Well done BM on naming my frog house :thumb:Thankyou

Marley has it, well done.

ohhhh it's beautiful tbh it's a good job he did approach it and discovered it wasnt actually a log, goodness knows how long it would have survived otherwise. I've always wanted one but my husband is afriad of them :(

I've found this great site - talk about wasting time - Loads of birds and red squirrels - very entertaining.

:DTell me about it Pete!!!! I've got a season ticket!!!....and I don't want one:dh::D

Riverside I think your getting your pedes mixed up the one correctly described by stongy is the brown fast one the other centipede is the snake or garden centipede the thin straw coloured one with tiny legs tends to wriggle Geophilus and Haplophilus which is probably the one I think you...

Thanks everyone. I think it was a dolphin and yes I do feel lucky to have seen it just wish it would have popped up again within sight. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Pal. cheers

It is a wonderful experience to drive along and see herds of deer roaming freely and even crossing the road just in front of you!A couple of magnificent stags resting under a shady tree -Some of the younger stags have decided to cross the road - A grazing herd - ...

:euw: i would love to see lady imp find one of them..you would hear her from hear:dh:

Dun hopping

You'll have to keep an eye out and see if u can get some pics. I took some pics of some lovely owls at the Dorset Show. They're in the gallery section.Now u just gotta get up that tree and fit it lol

Yes, I only eat the ones that I'm sure about, I've got a couple of books that I refer to.The one I found is a Field Mushroom, I also find quite a lot of Horse Mushrooms, they go yellow if they are bruised.All very tasty, you would not believe how different they taste compared to the shop...

Hi Roders Lovely Shots We have had so few here Your photos will remind me what they look like:thumb:

The first time I came across gekos was in madeira, I fell in love with them. We sat on a wall feeding them bits of our sandwich. I was so tempted to bring some home with me. Good job Ive got more sense.:D 02

That is such a sad story... the image of a feeder gently swaying, empty except for a whispy cobweb or maybe a dried leaf caught temporarily...

Thank you Rosa and Rouxbee,ah Sparling I take that to be a No then:D:thumb:

How sad Sezzle :( there's bats where i live, i think they're in a near by farm building, there's a couple of them appear above my garden every night just at the darkening, been trying for months and months to catch a shot of them with little success, they're so fast! well done on giving your one...

My book says they live for 5 years or more which is quite short for a toad as the Common Toad can live for more than 20. I have had my own Fire Bellies for 14 years and they were mature when I bought them so they must be 16/17 years old! I would think there are more about, you just don't seen...
