Wildlife Corner

I've had one for the last three days while I've been building my pond. Its been searching around the still wet cement looking for somewhere to live. I saw it leave, but I hope it didn't come back and climb in when I wasn't looking, because it will be doomed if it has.

Fantastic.......the poor things must be worn out! Fingers crossed that the chicks successfully fledge after all the parents hard work.

Thanks for the link, woo

Brilliant

hello williebee & welcome to the forum

Nice to see, sumbody. A lot of people hate Meeces to Peeces but I don't mind them in the garden so long as they don't get out of control. Having said that I haven't seen any in the garden for years, maybe because of the cats. Jenny the Cat does sometimes sit by the Compost heap watching...

Yes they are Harry, little beauties aren't they

When I moved here, Pete, I discovered 4 wasp nests in our loft space. One was MAHOOSIVE!!! Got the 'man who can' in to dispose of them and he informed me, they only 'nest' in the one spot and are not repeat visitors. I've been very much more 'forgiving' of wasps since then

The horses are still there, the five and the herd with lots of white ones, strange. I wonder if they are Luzitanias or Lipizanas ... are they not white? I put it up on two expat forums but have had no response whatsoever ... They all look happy and healthy. Plus a closer neighbour has four...

Birds will bath more this time of year they need the moisture for the eggs when they are sitting on the nest, it stops the shells from drying out to much before they hatch.

Mr Gull might be, loli; but for those folk who have them nesting on the chimney ....

Awww he's really cute!

Who could not?! He was really getting a fish a jab, Strongy!!! The Yellow Suede Shoes obviously work!!

oh Hans don't talk to me about hedgehog droppings, Freddy our little chihuahua dog had a good old roll around in one yesterday morning being such a little guy he really made that poo go a hell of a long loooong way...covered from head to toe so he was

Alpine Swifts,an almost impossible shot to get with my camera flying at well over 100mph, much larger than our Common one which will arrive here mainly in May. Any seen here would have overshot their destination by a few hundred miles! The common Spotless Starling, glossy like ours but no...

My Mum bought me a Bat Box today....but it's far too windy to start climbing trees today...so i'll leave it while it dies down
