Miss Goodbody has invited me over to peruse some lovely tits in her neighbour's bush.

Also one of my Passion flowers has had a massive growth spurt, the other two are still little.

In the Gothenburg Natural History museum. It's the only stuffed Blue whale in the world apparently. And a youngster at a year and half old before it was 'immortalised'.

- You want hills? We got hills
I went out for a ride this evening and, about 1000ft up on a climb through rough pasture a white bird flapped across the road close in front of me
My first reaction was "what the hell...I've no idea what that is". Then it became clear...Barn Owl. I've never seen one around here in 15 years, they are rare I these parts. I've cycled that hill dozens of occasions but rarely so late (it was about 8.45pm) so maybe that's why I've never seen it before. Anyway, magical

Marmot seen 6th July near Col de Tentes, at about 2100m altitude. So cute and cuddly looking! 
[QUOTE 4878967, member: 9609"]see quite a lot round here often see them near dusk, a bike is a wonderful way to see them, they don't seem to recognise a cyclist as a human so you can get quite close, I have had some amazing moments of them hunting the hedgerows as I have cycled alongside.[/QUOTE]
Our resident has been missing for about 4 or 5 months now. It was regular before that, so I guess it has met its end. So many are killed by cars. I've had it fly just 5 or 6 feet directly above my head before now, which is a lovely experience. As an aside, I was once badger watching in a local wood at dusk when a tawny owl landed on a branch of the tree I was leaning on, no more than 3 feet above my head, and stayed there for 10 minutes or more, calling. I hardly dared breath! The quietness of their flight is always impressive, but when it passes only inches from your head and you still can't hear anything, that's pretty special.

Just spotted this chap:
It looked very sharp and in pristine condition. Recently emerged I reckon.

I saw some whopping great big slugs in the garden this afternoon. Usually they tend to come in grey, black or in pinstripes, but I had *NO IDEA* that they also come in baby nappy brown...

Went to a bird of prey display yesterday, it's an experience to have some of these flying a few inches over your head
