Your day's wildlife

[potsy]

Had a cheeky little passenger the other day as I stopped for a coffee and a breather

We’ve been sat in the garden watching a pair of buzzards trying to coax the youngster out of the nest

Hell no! I wouldn't put bird (or any other) bodies in a compost bin. Apart from the smell, imagine spreading the contents on a raised bed and encountering skeletal remains, feet and beak! Anyway, moot point now, as a vixen made off with the corpse. Fingers crossed for her health.

I put all the old bits of pheasant and such like in the compost and it all breaks down completely, or if its deer bones then when its sieved it just goes back into the compost for another season.

Not wildlife, but a natural phenomenon

Bees in the garden

We placed the wildlife camera facing the gate into our rear garden last night to try and work out how many hogs we have on a regular basis .

The adjoining garden has no exit for hogs other than into our garden .

We counted 5 coming into the garden with 2 going out

So will continue for the next couple of nights

Not many dragonflies about this year

First time I've been able to get a (poor) photo of these two together. They are very nervous, merest hint of movement and they're gone.

Having seen the fantastic photos from others on here, I really need to up my game.

Last night we had three hogs go under our gate and 2 coming the other way

We saw a hedgehog from our balcony yesterday, to the great delight of Beautiful Daughter who is fascinated by them. It trundled across the road quite unconcerned and disappeared into a garden opposite.

Especially from three floors up: it looked like a little furry hovercraft.

Lots to read about them here and I bet they'd like to hear about your visitors.
