Your day's wildlife

[fritz katzenjammer]

Found these in the lawn this morning, no idea what they are but as we had a ton of snow only two weeks ago I’m kinda pleased to see them

I saw and heard a skylark today, the first for me in years and years. This was on the earthworks of Maiden Castle in Dorset.

Fair lifted my heart, he did.

At last we have a hog going in and out of our hoghouse
It's only taken 6 months

Blackcaps arrived from...... and Mandarin Ducks back (from down south I think) ready for nesting. Good to see.

Hah! "My" female Blackcap never went away!

Ring neck Dove I’ve befriended on Holiday this week. You might be able to just see that it has a club-foot. Not that it seems to hold it back much. Currently just helped me finish off a plain doughnut. Good health Sir 😎

‘Red Crabs’ sunning themselves in the Canary Isles. While some quite serious fish go about their business……

Managed to catch this hog having its supper last night in our rear garden.

While I was sitting outside sanding my latest pyrography project before the expected rain, this furry little fella came and sat near me, vibrating its wings to keep warm. It's a bee fly, but I'm not sure what species - its wings were never still long enough for a positive ID, but probably a dark-edged. Seeing the photos made me realise just how dirty the tablecloth is.

A stoat on this morning's commute - the first one I've seen in this area. This was then followed by spotting a muntjac grazing on the grass on the cliff tops in Old Felixstowe.
