Wildlife (non-avian)

Fuck getting out of the jam jar to break up.a fight between wild boar!

Dangerous little puggies! :skull_and_crossbones::skull_and_crossbones::skull_and_crossbones:

I gather there’s an effective means of calming them.

If it was me I would have grabbed his finger and put him on the floor…then ‘enjoyed’ life in prison.

Maybe it was dropped there by a swallow

Nice. Eyed ladybird. Not that uncommon in the right places, but the right places are fast disappearing - predominantly old established native pine woodland… Assuming it’s still alive, it needs to overwinter in soil/leaf litter that won’t dry right out, and not stay waterlogged either, ideally in pinewoods.

Saw this poor little guy the other day .. about to cross the busy A4 near me …looks like he’s already been in a scrap with something…hence the detached tail… I scooped him up and put him in the bushes near a stream …

Sloworm …Not a worm or snake. . he’s really a lizard (legless) …

Very unusual to see one of those out at this time of year. Being cold-blooded, they don’t usually move much once the weather gets cold. We have loads of them in our garden here. Find them in the house occasionally as well!

I’m guessing the mild temps we’ve been having is messing with the critters …I think the hedgehogs keep waking up and eating…not really hibernating as they should …
