Your day's wildlife

[summerdays]

So what are these that I've spotted at the bottom of my pond!

Are they baby newts?

My wife was clearing a patch of ground ready to plant some beans in when she came rushing in to say that she had found a Hedgehog nest along with a baby in there.
You may just be able to see the main prickles of the mother and slightly higher and to the left one of the little ones. We have now covered them back over and put some old carpet over them.

They like cat food

They like cat food

The trouble is so do the neighbours cats, I scattered some biscuits about yesterday and the cat ate them.

They like meal worms..... (though so does the Robin!)

I saw something very sad today.
Had to get the bus to work and saw a crow squashed on the road. His/her wee pal was walking round them and looking down to see if they were ok (they weren't).
Made me quite upset.

Someone HAS to be feeding Red Kite near Stilton, just off the A1M. Driving past there this afternoon...the sky was teeming with them, easily 30 of them wheeling around.
I've mentioned them in my 'your ride today' posts, they are a very regular sighting but not in those numbers .
There's a farm nearby (I sometimes commute on the old A1 which runs parallel with the A1M)....I do wonder if someone there puts food out for them.

My wildlife today is not a happy tale, as it involves a frog/lawn mower interface....

Struggling to see the wildlife in the second picture, is it well camouflaged?

A giant turtle in the sea was a major feature of our day.

Came across this herd of very noisy sheep whilst I was out earlier.
