    This little guy paid a visit tonight - don't often see baby possums out and about. Usually, you hear mum and dad clumping about in their combat boots in the roof instead.:D

    Not the sort of signs of wildlife that I like to see under the carport - A wretched stone marten has dragged a headless dead pigeon up under the bonnet and left it...According to No.1 daughter, there was an odd smell in the car, now I know why.

    The yellow box behind is an ultrasonic marten-scarer. Lot of bloody good that was. I think it's taking the proverbial out of me !

    Hi,

    What bait do you use when you go heron fishing? Oh, I see what you mean...:D

    Seriously, though, that's a great shot.:salut:

    Regards

    Oh come on - its a plastic one he takes everywhere - why do you think 90% of CL1's photos are of Herons all over the UK, how do you think he gets THAT close and if you put the photos side by side they all have exactly the same markings

    I couldn't resist grabbing "our" hog this evening and checking its weight.

    This hedgehog was born this year and we have been supplimenting its diet with Go-Cat. I reckon it has only a few more weeks to put on weight before it'll need to hibernate. But weighing in at 1lb 7.5oz (666g) our hog is now a safe weight.

    Contrary to popular belief, hedgehogs don't like slugs & snails, but due to a lack of their prefered food (beetles, caterpillars & other insects) they often have to eat these slimey gastropods to avoid starvation. Unfortunately worms, slugs & snails often carry lungworms which can quickly multiply, resulting in the hog suffering a dreadful death.

    So if you have hedgehogs in your garden, please supply small amounts of dried cat food (meat, not fish flavour) and plenty of drinking water.

    Obviously not my backyard but worth a watch. Especially for you cat lovers.

    Ok, so he isn't in the back garden nor indeed is he wildlife, but this is Ben my 6 year old Lab swimming in a sea-loch on the Isle of Mull.

    Has CL1 been to Kew recently?

    I saw this on the pond and thought I saw the head move but maybe not...
