Wildlife Corner

@DiggersJo Thanks. Usually I need to take several different shots but I managed this in just one!

Yeah, sort of bonded, like when different farm animals form connections.

I wouldn’t go too close but otherwise carry on as usual … if they start shouting at you maybe move right away for a while.We don’t spray here and have very little problem with caterpillars and aphids etc. the bluetits are always busy in this garden.

It's probably a case of first come first served @On the Levels.

I know what you mean @Februarysgirl - perhaps it's because they have a slightly prehistoric look about them! I always find hundreds of them when I separate stacks of pots that have been tucked in corners or near the house.

I have the occasional pigeon flying into the windows and last year a young crow broke its neck on hitting the window. It was being pecked at by seagulls by the time I got outside to pick it up and see if it had survived.

Just seen this thread. What lovely photos!

Thought I share an update my Robin Redbreast friend still visits me and I feed him when he calls, Here are a couple of photos of the tough little guy

Funnily enough the most damage I have had this autumn has been from tiny snails!

We have loads of those indoors and when I say 'loads' there's usually dozens of them. I leave them alone as they're not doing any harm but I always wonder what they eat. If Mrs Shiney sees any she picks them up gently and puts them outside.We also have some tiny spiders but they're almost...

Sure is and I didn't even have my glasses on.
