Wildlife Corner

Now would I! :D :D

It must have been a record then,as I have never heard of that many at once.You must have some good feeding down your way :D :D

Just realised I used the wrong name - of course, it's the Sea Eagle, I meant - I've been looking up about when it was they tried to reintroduce them, and found this info http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/animals/features/328feature1.shtml

I don't feed them,they can help themselves to the critters that hang around the compost heap and among the undergrowth. The last time I put food out it sounded like the a battle field on our patio...Not sure if it was the sound of fighting or passion but the noise was scarey!

We live on the edge of fields with a nearby wood and get visits from merlins, peregrine falcons and sparrowhawks. They mainly catch pigeons.. three years ago I was apinting my garage doors, heard a large thump and turned round to see a sparrowhawk has banged into the doors - complete with pigeon...

Stuuning, what plant is it feeding on?

The smooth snake could not eat anything as large as a kitten, it would more likely be killed by a kitten or cat!

:eek: :eek: :eek: Why don't you ask the mods to feature this thread, HB? I'm sure they would.

Wonderful!

Another quite common visitor every year from the continent One has to marvel at how these creature can travel so far

Noted for its love of our cabbages

Probably our most striking butterfly Here it is pretending to be a stealth fighter

what a beautiful pond ermmm looks more like a lake to me, not suprised the herons visit

For those of you down south, there are green woodpeckers around at the Gardens of the Rose, in Chiswell Green. We frequently saw them flying in and out of the big lime trees there. Their flight is so distinctive...... No chance of a photo though, unfortunately :(

'Cmon now Dendy.. I hope you're not implying I'm tight fisted.. :D :D Actually,it was a Birthday present from from my Monster-in-Law...wasn't that kind?

Thanks Fran Seems like there are very good reasons for discouraging this cute little visitor. What a shame!

Gogs

Glad you all like it..It is pretty good isn't it..

Wonderful pictures, I missed the Autumn colour this year as our trees have been almost bare since October due to severe gales blowing all the leaves off.
