... as in MUCH earlier than I usually see 'em. Oh Lordy - they're welcome to eat their fill. [But I wonder what they're briing behind them in the way of winter weather!]

Hardly wildlife but our cat wanted to help last night.

[QUOTE 4994828, member: 9609"]should this not be in another thread ? it is a very beautiful little cat and it is a very endearing picture, but cats do an immense amount of damage to our native wildlife, particularly birds.[/QUOTE]
I agree re damage cats do , but this old boy is an indoor cat

Hedgehog time! Just caught this little bloke in the garden. We're eating well tonight!
Actually, he'll be away up the motorway tomorrow. He is way too small to get through the winter so he will have heated accommodation and food if/when hunger pangs strike! I will pay for his bed and board!
I think the hogs had two litters this summer. There are some huge ones, mediums and at least this one little one.
For the record, he is only 350g.

Big pod of grey seals swimming north off our Point first thing.
Possibly cows going to give birth at Donna Nook.
Just the one pup been born there so far but there'll be hundreds by the end of next month.

Seem to be the most popular bird around here currently, the blue skies are not so regular

A47 through the Broads just outside Norwich...a Curlew stood in an adjacent field.
[QUOTE 5007352, member: 9609"]........Large numbers of Field Fares (200+) in North Northumberland a few days ago, cycling is a wonderful way to see these birds as they will keep moving along in the fields at about the same rate.....[/QUOTE]
There are some abandoned commercial apple orchards on the outskirts of the village, and I swear I've seen a thousand fieldfares at a time in there. It's a truly astonishing sight (and sound). I left the bullace on our trees this year (there were soooooo many........one tree broke under the weight), expecting the fieldfares to come and strip the lot. Not one! Not a single one bothered. I had to prune the crop off the branches before the big winds last week.
