Land/Water Wildlife

Funny Bunny!
I recently posted that I had a rabbit on my property that would eat the dog food I put out for the raccoons and skunks. Since then, I have recorded the rabbit eating pizza, and last night. to my amazement, it ate the marshmallow I put out Shadow my favorite raccoon.

 

While the rabbit's eating pizza it's leaving your plants alone Hydrogardener.

 

That is a good point Sheal, however it is mostly weeds in that unused location, and it would be doing me great favor if it ate ever last one of them!

 

It obviously prefers pizza to weeds.

 

The trail cam captured an image of a doe in my yard last night. The animal looks a little gaunt for this time of year, however she appears to be nursing.

 

Visited the back garden just before nine this morning. Luckily we were both standing at the kitchen window watching the birds feeding.

 

I am always amazed at the images from the trail camera in the morning. The antics of wildlife that we normally don't see are hard to believe. I spent the day constructing a waterproof flash housing attached to a spike. As it was new to its environment a skunk decided to try to shake if off the spike. One of the baby raccoons decided to cool its bum off in the water dish.

 

This is the next generation taking over from the old lady who died earlier in the summer, I've seen two, I'm guessing sisters.
Who knows how it will sort out come the next breeding season.
Sausage hunting.

 

I finally found out who is nibbling on my little Witch Hazel plant.

 

A lovely family shot Hydrogardener. Will you have to protect the Witch Hazel?

 

Thanks Sheal, I doubt it will nibble on it more than once, it is pretty strong.

 

Sika Deer.

 

Great shots Strongy!

 

There always seems to be a Grey Seal at Portland Bill but not showing itself much today.


A brief glimpse of a Wall lizard.


Fur and feather, Little Owl was not impressed with the rabbit sitting infront of it's nest hole.

 

I've never seen a caterpillar like this before, anyone know what it is ?
