Your day's wildlife

[gbb]

A baby blackbird...
Linda next door knocked, fledgling in hands, asked if we could put it in our garden, her cat has just brought it in, although seemingly uninjured.
Put it in a box in the garden, hopefully mum will be nearby. Eventually it popped out the box, half an hour later fluttered across the garden and started chirping.
Mum soon arrived and started finding worms for it, like a busy little bee.
Hopefully it will make it through the night....without unwanted attention from cats

Spotted a few Short tailed blue butterflies on today's walk.

As hard as I tried I couldn't get a picture showing it's violet colour .

I went out for a specific look for an adder….

Blimey. I came home from work to find she’s laid a ninth!

If you bred a line of birds from her, you could set up a miniature egg farm!

Mum spent most of the day in the nest today. It looks like her other half is delivering her food.

when I let Reggie out in the morning, I take a look around for predators. none such this morning only this garden rock

Reggie was coming around & saw me & stopped. he had no idea. he never was the hunter amongst his siblings. I guess he never will be

Just watched a hog having his supper in our rear garden .

Yesterdays ride was to the accompaniment of the storks clacking their beaks. (Look on the peak of the roof below).

Also one slightly drunk bloke in a village bus stop trying to communicate with them...

I dragged myself out of bed at 5.30 to go and see cuckoos up at Burrator. As soon as I was out of the van I heard and saw one, fleetingly.

There were a few calling off in the distance and the occasional one in flight.

There were skylarks and meadow pipits a plenty.

It was a dull day and I had stuff to do, so after a couple of hours I wandered back to the van.

I found treasure!

A discarded antler!!!

I stopped at the swamp, sundews just emerging
