    Had no idea how agile Grey Squirrels are. Was out doing some exercise in the back garden this morning about 6 and saw a couple run up the tree straight in front of me ( no surprise there) but they then leapt straight over the hedge launching themselves into next doors garden.

    (Hopefully Mad Max didn't have his pet Alligator out in his garden this morning.)

    At 12.46am walking back from my sisters( i went see the Bhoys go down 0-7 to you know who!) Anyway i heard 2 calling Greenshanks flying over my houseing estate,that clasic Tu Tu Tu call.
    Its a warm September here in North Wales and 4 species of Dragonfly are active hunting on my local patch,as are several species of Butterfly.I am getting up first light tomorrow for a 4 hour Walk with my Boxer Dog Jasmine,conditions are ideal for a rare or scarce bird dropping,with a hint of luck.

    Had a frog in the living room last night from the pond. Had to get it out the house before the cat came in & killed it.
    She's attacked the frogs before & the noise they make is like a high pitched squeaky toy. Horrible.

    I read foxes scavange first then hunt but an * fox will hardly ever starv that saves energy scavanging uses least energy .That's why I didn't give it any grub see if it gets rid of the rats good to see it in hunt mode .Just finished my work and seen it lying down the bottom of the yard and though what the f--k's that doing going to sleep .It was waiting on a rat coming out from under the shutter .

    That fox vid hey bhoy it's a * lol and it's also got a young that runs like f--k when it sees you .It's started just going to the bottom of the gate though for grub I leave out but grabs a piece and does a usian bolt .Foxes are cool man that was like a completley different animal hunting and stalking its prey. That rat similar to the big Jag but not as good .Going to leave a couple of chicken legs for it Monday were the rats are at the shutter rat bait .
