Your day's wildlife

[deptfordmarmoset]

whilst out walking today saw a pr of Teal ducks bouncing on the windswept waters and a couple of herons in flight on our walk around summer lyes , oh and a grey squirrel sat on the bird table .

There's loads of teal in the Thames downstream from here this year. I only just learnt that they were teal though. They should be called goldtails.

Another badger today, this time not in the countryside but in Leicester. It was stood in the middle of the road as I came around a bend, it saw me, ran onto the path and carried along the path and into somebodies garden. My gast was well and truly flabbered.

I've been spoilt today with the wildlife, dinner time went for a quick pootle through Watermead Park and had a heron glide straight over my head, must have been six foot above me at the most, along the cycle path and then landed about 15 feet away from me.

Not my first sighting of a Little Egret but my first in my neck of the woods today. Seems egrets are spreading here now.

Two geese have made a nest near an entry door at work. They honk incessantly at passers-by.

100 miles today & very little to report, guess the weather even put the wildlife off descending a hill around Londesborough I did notice what looked like a Buzzard sat on a tree stump, but at around 30mph I couldn't look over at it for too long & then ascending up the other side there was a red kite flying into the wind & it was doing a better job of that, than me climbing the hill

There's only one thing else than that. Fishing a dead roe deer out of a drainage ditch it was blocking. I took the rear legs and my husband the front. We ended up with a piece each .

We had to dig a big hole and bury all of it... Right along side a gate we had to open and close to get up the track to our house. First time I have come remotely close to throwing up over a dead animal. Even a dead badger didn't out do it!

My wildlife recently consists of rather a lot of frogs and a worm. Not much to write home about really!

When we had that really hard winter a few years back, after the pond thawed out over a dozen bloated frogs floated (dead, obviously) to the surface. That was completely

Not a very good photo but a little robin has made her nest in the stable on a pile of old horseshoes on a shelf in the wall. Its all lined with horsehair. She has five eggs. Should be about due to hatch.
