There was a loud thump on the office window this morning caused by a pigeon strike. The bird was only stunned, but within seconds a sparrowhawk had pounced, finished it off and started plucking the feathers away.
A white fluffy bird with long black tail feathers flew into my window and then perched itself on my window sill.
I went outside about an hour later to see if I could see it again. Next door's cat had killed it and left it as a present for them on their doorstep.
I spotted a hedgehog in the garden last week so I've been putting food out for it. I've made a little tunnel to put the food dish in to stop the local cats stealing the food.
So tonight I got home in the rain & thought I'd check to see if anything was eating the food. I reached into the tunnel and pulled out the dish. It felt a bit heavy - surely I hadn't put that much food in it. When I got it right out I could see why - the hedgehog was sitting in the dish!
No photos as it's dark & wet and I slid the dish & 'hog back under cover again straight away.
Today I did a longish walk around Lydney while my car was being repaired. Right at the end I spotted a Kingfisher and, for once, managed to get a lens on it. The light was very poor but one or two of the images are viable. Please don't pixel-peep!
