Your Wildlife Sightings!

How’s it taken me this long to notice a little mini community in TC? Might need to make my own contributions soon

 

Fantastic variety of pictures Jeannie love your pals the seal's

 

Aye they were just loafing around last night and not bothering about us folks being nearby. Think they're used to me as they probably think I'm that mad wummin with a magic box Even the Heron seemed to pose and they're usually such jittery buggers.

Plenty of gulls, Cormorants Heron, Mallards, grey lag Geese and Ringed plovers but a lot of things have disappeared like the Widgeon and Shelducks. There's a real absence of the smaller hedgerow birds which is probably down to the fact that people are about in large numbers now. We have Polecats although I have yet to see one. They're chomping on the rabbits of which there are loads. Seen a Hedgehog a wee while back. Yeah it's been a bit up and down with nature this year.

 

The more the merrier

 

Looking forward to your contributions.

 

We need one of our new Aussie members to post some of their wildlife, fully commentated like Steve Irwin.

 

Steve Irwin, what a man. Sadly missed in my household

 

strangely relaxing

 

Wild roosters at 6:30am every morning also, funny thing is I was horrible at getting up in morning then I said im going to get up when these roosters make noise, after a few weeks my sleep pattern was brand new and felt great, evolution.

 

Must have reset your circadian rhythms. Your 24hr body clock generally ties in with the start and the end of the daylight.

 

One of the Wood Pigeon Pair That Live In my Oak Tree

 

A Wall Butterfly seen on my local patch 3 weeks or so ago. I have had a pretty good Butterfly season so far.
A couple of weeks ago while painting my deck land on my Garden i got my 19th Butterfly species for my garden,at long long long last a Small Copper,one of favourites!!
Google Small Copper!,they are handsome wee things

 

Just looked them up there Pete they are indeed handsome wee things that's some amount of species you've had in the garden

 

Not saw many birds out the back last couple of weeks been very quiet ! looked out the window half an hour ago ..







yes I have saw the yellow duck creeping into the first one .

 

It's like something from Hitchcock's The Birds

 

must have been something on the ground for eating I think , I will need to fill the seeders and fat balls but few hours and they have scoffed the lot shouldn't complain though .

 

Cheers Susan

PS Yes I have planted loads of flowers and let the Garden go Wild

 

Great pictures there Jeannie, love the seals

 

Great pictures Scotia, what do you think attracted so many?

 

A few from around Doorly park at the weekend, i found birdlife a bit scarce but this big Heron was in the mood for a bit of posing.
