Land/Water Wildlife

Just on the edge of town is a place where Adders can be found quite easily but only when warm enough, as was today, and the males were fighting over a female, I didn't see her.
Two out of the three were a metre long!

 

Two Adders were out this morning but inactive due to the cooler temperature, the (brown) female had just sloughed her skin which was next to her.


Sloughed skin.

 

Honey bees on the Coronilla, a bee magnet.

 

We now have 2 Hedgehogs visiting each evening.

 

Left over, or should that be,'Hang over' Sorry but my mind is drawn toward that sea side post card. 'I haven't seen my little willy for ages'

 

Red Squirrel, Brownsea Island, posing for everyone only a few yards away.








Young Sika Deer.

 

Nice pictures of the Red Squirrel

 

We had two hedgehogs visit just now so we thought, until we saw three more, running around and nudging each other, never seen five before!!!

 

Brown Hare

 

Went to Rottnest Island off of Perth yesterday and there were plenty of Quokkas around. They look like a cross between a rat and a Wallaby and are endemic to the island and nowhere else.

 

Lovely critter @strongyloden. Have seen them on a wildlife programme I watch.

 

Golden Orb web spiders, Sydney.




Water Dragon, around 5ft long wandering across the grass near the Orchid Gardens in Kuala Lumpur!




We saw just this one Koala in the wild south of Sydney.


Grey Kangaroo, didn't see many and were always distant and wary.

 

Just one Red Squirrel at Browsea today as I didn't go round the island, just to the lagoon to see the Terns.

 

I saw a Pine Marten in the garden at dusk a couple of days ago. No picture, as it disappeared to quickly for me to grab my camera. I knew they were in this area but it's the first one I've seen.

 

That may be what's been on or feeders
