Land/Water Wildlife

Apparently, foxes and some birds such as blackbirds and thrushes, ( haven't seen a thrush for ages) they will tap the ground. This supposidly causes the worm to interpret the tapping as the sound of rain. What a high price to pay for a drink. hic!

 

Check out EBay. There are several trail cameras, starting around £25.00

 

Our Hedgehog is still coming for food every night, it's been so mild he hasn't needed to go into hibernation yet.

 

Thank you Mike.

 

The Grey Seal showed itself at Portland Bill this afternoon.

Have you ever watched the seagulls

 

Two hours on Brownsea Island during the 3.5 hour bird boat tour around Poole harbour.
It is closed to the public Nov through to Feb so it was quiet there today.
One squirrel was just a few feet away and had a big lunch!






Young Sika

 

I'll be staying nearby in mid March when it opens on weekdays again. Does the ferry need booking in advance at that time of year?

 

@Scrungee I think the ferry is only bookable for school and scout groups.
The chain ferry from Studland to Sandbanks is still out of action but should be back in service by February otherwise you have to go from Poole quay.

 

The frogs were up and at 'em this morning.

 

One of the 5 Hedgehogs we had last year was out and about the garden last night just seen him/her on garden cctv have to start to think about letting the 2 young one's out from the garage soon

The snow is beginning to melt in the Adirondack Mountains, the Hudson River is roaring, however, the geese are loving it.
