January 2016 HAS arrived Took this out my back living room window. What is unique is that there are actually TWO hummers sitting on the feeder at the same time. They always buzz each other and try to scare the other one away and mostly there is only ever 1 feeding at a time.
OH shock ! ! !Thankyou Horus. Glory and I were on a track by the motorway. She stopped dead and refused to move. Then I heard a squeak from the bank, I could only see plastic bags and cans people had thrown from their cars. I dismounted, climbed up the bank, and found 2 dead and one alive - delightful- she was covered with muck with septic eyes. So put her in my saddlebag and raised her in the house (with motorbike gloves) with syringe milk and soup. She was meeting my cats for the first time outside on the table, they didnt think much of her and ran off. This is her, up the almond tree, not spitty now and a grand hunter. Jok. This was the third time Glory found abandoned animals. When she found 11 large puppies hiding up a pipe I had to call for help. (they wouldnt fit in the saddlebag)
Yes - she turned out excellent. I've read that often feral cats don't ever really domesticate and remain kinda spitty and scratchy. This one looks lovely
The squirrel photo is good. Kinda like my hummers through the livingroom window I'm thinking things will pick up soon (once I get rid of this cold and "I" pick up!)

They 'morphed' into nest boxes Jay. Seriously, I preferred to hang bird nest boxes on the tree and used part of them for the back of the boxes because they were quick release. Have cleaned my 4 bird boxes ready for the new season and hope to get better results than last year, which was zilch
Just come back from a stroll with Annie along an old abandoned railway line that has been turned into a conservation walk. They have been fixing wooden nestboxes for small birds such as Tits in the trees along the path, so far I have counted 33
That is quite a few - nest boxes that is. I'm hoping to get some bird houses put up around here to attract more birds. I'm not walking out anywhere - SNOW again
Robbo, please get your rotties to look the other way. This would be supper for one I think
This is 'Mouse' a 12 week old Chihuahua that her owner Charli, next door, has just brought back with her after the Christmas break at Uni. She really is the cutest little dog and I think we will be volunteering to baby sit.
Mayday , so I thought I would open a new wildlife thread. Very quiet in April so let's hope with all the new births around the wildlife (or domestic animal) world we will find some great...

The fox definitely looked real healthy with a lovely coat.
Those dogs do look like big labradoodles but I'm not sure. They do have that wavy long coat though.
Since lots of us have the ability to get out there and snap photos I'm posting a Wildlife photo challenge for 2016. Rules are simple - you just have to take the photo of an animal/bird/fish and post...
