Biggest False Widow spider I've ever seen on my property, capturing a Cockchafer last night.

Put this elsewhere but this seems a more appropriate place.

Saw this muncjac this morning whilst out walking .

Out on the Tandem this afternoon and a jay came down to say hi.

Then this cheeky squirrel came in for afternoon tea .

We're having goldfinch fights over our niger seed feeder, even when it has free perches. It gets a bit frantic when eight goldfinches are there but even two can be a problem.

Today's sequence:

1. Two interlopers appear.

We got some proper hedgehog food yesterday, happy to report our new garden visiter was tucking in last night.

He nearly done a whole dish full.
Might have to remove a fence panel in a bit so the little porker can get out of the garden!!

They love meal worms, soaked rather than dried.

I apologise for the quality, but there are two of these about at the minute.

Albino squirrels, I'll try to get a better shot, this was taken by my daughter from her bedroom window.

Also, as the weather is getting hot, a bowl of water is usually appreciated.
