Wildlife & Gardens

Yes I watch Alisa on occasions.

I especially like the way he says "Aleeesah"!

I watch more of Mikayla and SaveAFox.

Today Fawzi the sand fox is having breakfast with her!

Wonderful ears!

 

what happened to llllantysiliogogogoch?

 

Anybody know how to get rid of parakeets? They empty two feeders in a day, the squawky green ****s.

 

"If I can shoot rabbits, then I can shoot fascists"

 

Has this **** signed yet ?

 

Bullets for your brain today.

 

Stop feeding for a bit they'll go elsewhere. get bird feeders that wil only cater fro smaller birds.

tbh not sure it's feeding season, should be plenty about.

 

Discovered that starlings are very keen on TUC biscuits. Then water biscuits and finally cheese thins.
Then the gulls displaced them - also liking them
Then the crows saw off the gulls.
The crows dipped them in the water feeder - not daft them crows

 

Plays for Total Network Solutions I think?

 

The crow is extremely bright,the cleverest bird and much smarter than almost all tennis club committee members.

Βάλεις κόρακας!

 

They didn't do quite so well in Game of Thrones though

 

Bad start to Spring watch.

The Jay has had six Wren chicks and the Mistle Thrush ones too.

Very upsetting.

 

I am looking forward to a BBC1 programme Sunday at 7 called Spy in the Ocean. They previewed it this morning and have spy cameras in animatronic creatures to observe at closehand. Extraordinary creatures they have created to be able to get close to real wildlife

 

I am freaking out. Either I am being subjected to an elaborate practical joke, or...

It started about 3 weeks ago. Something or someone was digging holes in random places - strawberry pots, raised beds, planters. Then last week a marigold was dug up - and next to it was a gardening glove. Not one of mine. Then this morning, (background - I have growbags for tomatoes and cucumbers on the roof of the shed cos it has constant sun) I went up the ladder to the shed roof to water the toms, and one plant has been uprooted. Looks like it will survive being re-planted, so I start opening up a hole, whereupon I feel a large stone. I'm sure that wasn't there before... I pull it out. It's not a stone. It's a chicken's egg. Shop bought because it is stamped.

Would a fox do this? Too big for a crow or Magpie. Anybody else had anything like this?

 

Egg-stremely curious, omelette nature take its course etc.

 

We’ve certainly had foxes digging up plants and leaving shoes in the garden.

 

Careless of them. You could track them down by the size and print impression

 

Yes maybe squirrels digging up plants searching for buried acorns. Not much fruit and nuts around in spring, great insect harvest for birds but squirrels may need to find their autumn caches ? An egg is odd but could well be a fox or squirrel caching after finding the egg when they had a full belly ?

 

Clark's Pathfinders?

 

Yes they love to move things around,food dishes, footwear,chess pieces.

Quite accomplished players some it seems!

 

Horrible Springwatch.

Predation everywhere.

 

Something dug up the plants around my pond overnight. Could have been a fox as it was quite widespread but equally it could have been suirrels buryig a load of monkey nuts I put in a feeder for them yesterday. I need to replace my trail cam to see what is going on at night.

 

Spy in he Ocean was good on Sunday

 

Could be foxes.

 

Yes. Same reason when we were last on safari in Africa and a pride of lions brought down an antelope, half a dozen jeeps rushed in to see the end and we instructed our surprised driver to head the other way. Seeing the chase was enough.

 

Terrorist fox or squirrel back again last night. Time for netting for a while.

 

Anyone got any recommendations for good trail cameras?

 

Could be badgers, they wrecked my lawn a couple of years ago and kept coming back. Blocked up all the ways they could get in / out and it ceased.

Interesting fact: Foxes and badgers often live together in Badger sets. The foxes bring in the food and the badgers keep it clean.

 

Says you with two cats.
