I thought he might be but I took him to the rescue who said he was a fledgling wood pigeon so I'll take their word for it! (That's why he'd got no tail..) I thought it was too late for fledglings now, but obviously not.. Anyway they said in about a fortnight he'd fledge and should be fine

We're lucky enough to have bats here too, Windy - but we're trying to encourage them to live in the garage, rather than the house..... It's pipistrelles here - we see them every evening silhouetted against the skyline as it's getting dark. That's the best time to spot them, while they're...

never thought of that is that why he ran a mile, get a bit of piece and get his rashes back to normal :D :D

If you here from him,please say sorry if I don't see hime first I don't think he likes being called a wrinkly,though I use it as form of indearment,not as anything nasty.I have a message in Anniversary wishes

We have a large pond so we are lucky to get no end of dragonflies every year. Big ones like the one roders photographed, then the small red ones, brilliant blue ones, and I even saw a golden one last week. Not to forget the medium- sized brown ones with a sort of stumpy body.

Jay, may I ask what you mean when you say they have "incredibly cute bellies"? On a slightly more serious note... in what way do frogs bring benefit to our gardens, not only the cute bellies and the ability to hide their eyes when they go to a scary movie at the cinema but the insects they...

Just now back on here to check this post but it is too late as I buried them deep right away and of course I did not touch them. TG have found no more since.

I do belong to the Dorset Wildlife Trust but am no expert. It just happens that we were walking in Lydford Gorge in Devon a couple of weeks ago and the boxes were there. However, the NT had kindly placed a notice beside the first one we spotted and told us what they were doing with it.You may...

mr gw has his eye on these guys :eek:

:eek: :D Me neither Fran.... :D

I have them visiting my garden - and yes they are noisy on the move - they root around in leaf litter etc for the food they want - but freeze when startled. Used to drive my dogs mad, cos they'd bark and rush, the hedgehog would curl up, and the dogs would back off yelping. They learnt to leave...

Hi Marley-Farley - I like that term for the catapillers, munching machines, how true it is. I have dockered it away for future use.
