Wildlife Corner

Thanks for this thread Marie. It's good to know we can help them like this. I love honey and would willingly give them a drink to revive them. It's been quite hard for them this Spring I think. Cold spells, wind and heavy rain must present difficult challenges for them, Jenny

Love it

She is well down in the nest in this weather and I don't blame her! The Welsh Osprey history is an interesting read. Thanks for the link Hans, I saw two Ospreys here last October passing through on their return to Africa, fortunately they are in no hurry and stay for a week or two. They are...

Very expressive faces they have One was stolen from a wildlife park a couple of years back - such has become their fame

OK then, I stand corrected on that particular herbicide. Nevertheless, Monsanto ties up their GM seed contracts with exclusive use of their own pesticides and herbicides when employing farmers to grow their GM seeds.Also, I see you make no mention of the very pertinent link I provided above...

Too funny and so cute The first one caught itself a mouse! I wouldnt of believed an owl could scratch like a hen if someone told me so glad i seen that video x

I think there quite sweet really, you usually see them this time of year like ungainly flying tennis ballsSent on the go from my telephone

I love it first thing in the mornings, I'm waiting for the pc's to knock on the door as we have a black bird which, at the end of the song he woof whistle

Ha ha ha probably not, he's not just your common European tree frog, he's a stripeless and is only found on the Iberian peninsular, to just north of the Pyrenees. Here he is at the northern limit of his range. In my last home, fifteen minutes north of here (as the car drives) there were both...

Yes, you will find the island residents lurking here and there. We toured Norway with our car many years ago and pulled into a car park for the Flam railway only to spot another Manx car there. It's a small world!

Son put a camera in one of our boxes. So this year is the only year there's been no nest in it!!!

Helpful for non members. I am only 10 minutes from Arne although being a RSPB member I mostly go on my bike. They are going to convert the old Toy Museum there into a new visitor Centre. Lodmoor and Radipole reserves in Weymouth are free.

The other day our lovely cat decided to bring home a fledgling blackbird. We didn't realise it was a fledgling at first, but when we realised that although it was still alive and looked uninjured it wasn't flying, so we got advice from a local wild bird rescue place who gave it the once over and...

I do really need to M. Unfortunately its nearly always when i look out my bedroom window and my phone wont pick them up from the distance from the bedroom or for the back step which is frustrating and my slr only has the standard lens and a fisheye one so again no good i need a telescopic (i...

Both are blurred now. It's understandable though if they can't be fixed. I wouldn't want the parents to take fright and abandon the nest.

Three of our native reptiles within 20 meters of each other. No Snakes out this afternoon, too cold but the Lizards were. Common Lizard.Sand Lizard.Slow Worm.

Red Admirals and Orange Tips (Anthocharis cardamines) in evidence here in Sowerby Bridge. The former frequent; the latter - of which I admit I've only seen one so far - gravitating towards the purple globe primula, pink and purple osteospermums, and another fancy purplish flower I have and of...

Great photos. Blackbirds bathing so funny to watch.

we do indeed @Spruce , the reds are native and still have strong holds that are grey squirrel free, god love the reds they may be fighting the good fight but they ain't winning the greys im afraid are a huge issue here too.speaking of which, i saw my first ever grey squirrel last year in my...
