Further to that post showing liddle kitty terrifying much bigger fox: is this the same cat, is this the same fox?
Could do with foxes and badgers giving more of the many feline visitors the same treatment as this!
The trailcam has a fairly fast reaction time, so the cat must have been running at top speed; this was the first frame on the video.

One of my favourite dog walks over local disused brickpits, its always occured to be the odd various piles of rubble from the former works simply MUST encourage snakes and lizards, never actually seen lizards there...till today.
Stood.looking at a 1 square ft piece of rubble...is that a tail ?
Slowly got my phone out to photo it...gone in an instant.
Came back 5 mins later...just its head poking out, expanded the pic to enhance...

This spurred me on to other rubble sprawls , didn't physically see one but did see the telltale sudden rush of something through the adjacent scrub, smaller probably.
The one I the pic..probably 4 or inches long justing by the 2 inches of tail i saw first time round

Do you do randonneuring rides? If so, this is a group you might be interested in joining: They cover the Boston area.

Not seen or heard any blackbirds in the garden for a good few months there were plenty about during spring
Hoping they'll reappear soon as the seasons change and the cold sets in

Another fox / badger encounter last night. Fox looks anxiously towards t'other side of pond:

with good reason, as a stripey face appears through the Bowles golden grass growing in the margin

Fox ran round in a circle, while badger barely broke into a trot, wasting no more energy than needed.

I'm no expert but thought that they are moulting around now so somewhat quieter (in UK).

I wouldn't complain if they chose to stay and moulted in my garden 🙄

Went to Chester Zoo today to try and see the new baby snow leopard, was just about to walk away when she came out to see us, really good timing!
