Your Wildlife Sightings!

This hole has appeared in our leaf pile over the past couple of weeks. Does anyone have any ideas which wee fella might have put it there or be using it?

 

Saw this wee fella through the steamed up car windscreen yesterday. Is it a stonechat?

 

Truly beautiful, Johnie.

 

Looks like a hedgehog hide to me.

 

Great picture Red, aye I think it’s a stonechat alright the question is
Why were the windaes steamed up.???

Thanks Red, there was a lot more for the taking but as soon as I snapped that the feckin phone died,* thing.

 

Brit sniper Red, they’re on to you.

 

Nothing raunchy, Johnie, Just tea and Toblerone.

 

Thanks, T. We know there is a hedgehog about somewhere but haven't seen him for about a year. Would love it to be hedgehog home.

 

Aye, looks like the kind of spot they like to hibernate in. It might also be a stoat but looks a bit too large.

 

Sunset from south Antrim an hour ago.

 

Went up the Glen on my last full day up here in the Highlands. It was cold and colder as I gained height and the Snow drifts started to take their toll and a strong wind was the king of the very top so the peaks just missed out,much to Ruby’s relief then back to total fun in the snow on the way back down.
Did get a fine 2nd Year Golden Eagle though. Just the one Mountain Hare seen.
Ruby Roo saw 3 pretty close by Roe Deer And was very good just looking at them even though she wanted to play.
Also a fine Red Squirrel

 

Sky was like that here but I was in the car and couldn't stop

 

Was freezing up on the Greenock Cut today. My fingers were numb taking photos

 

Few year ago Jeanie , on holiday down there friends suggested visiting there one day , my first reaction was .. * !!
It was actually an interesting afternoon though .

 

Put some sand at the hole and check for footings. Have you bird feeders nearby ?

 

There are bird feeders and suet blocks all over garden but none in immediate vicinity to the leaf piles and log piles. I tend to stay away from them in case I disturb anything. Good tip about the sand.

 

Saw this fella yesterday.
