On my ride today I saw a snake

OK so it was a slow worm, but I hate snakes I really do.

Riding back from T*sco's I heard a Cetti's near the river...now, there's a first!

May head over to Barnes reserve tomorrow.

I was disappointed that the round on "Only Connect" this week that featured vocalisations of bird calls (A little bit of bread and no cheese), didn't include the Certti's Warbler.

Wish I'd seen this so we'd known you were going. I'm sure our Little Duck would have loved seeing the feathered ones.

Had this wee cheeky chappie in my moth trap this morning:

Had a fledgling sparrow perch on my hip for about 30 seconds whilst watching the dog bouncing around in the garden. I think it didn't realise I was a person, perhaps thought I was a tree. It was amazing to see it so close-up though. I was worried it was going to fly into the house through the open door behind me but fortunately it decided I was a better perch.

In amongst the vine that forms roof of our gazeebo at this time of year is this fledgling

An otter. Feeding just off the coast. Pretty much the first time I wasn't out with my camera looking for them

First time I have seen long tailed tits.

Saw a hare last night.

Found a really small hedgehog rummaging around the base of drainpipe on the driveway. It's the size of an apple!

It's now eating a large portion of dog food making chomp, chomp noises

Pingu · « **Reply #3313 on:** 17 July, 2013, 10:49:42 am »

Pictures?

bumper · « **Reply #3314 on:** 17 July, 2013, 11:15:06 am »

It was pitch black so I didn't take any. I was going to pick it up and take some but my wife gave me orders to leave it alone :blush:

A couple of the cycle campers with us last weekend at Watlington had hedgehog incursions (one had his bread raided), but, despite being in the corner of the field where we previously saw one there, we didn't spot one at all.

We heard owls, but didn't see any.

But we did see quite a few bats. Some rather big ones, which were impressive.

And the odd red kite or two.

Only or two?

I had to slow down for a deer thsi mornig- female roe I think. Standing in the middle of the road giving me the eye as I rode between Cookham Dean and Pinkneys Green. She bounded off into the undergrowth once she had decided I wasn't worth the attention. A very nice and calming sight at that time of the morning.

A mother duck with a week-or-so-old duckling murder a much smaller duckling which had become separated from its brood.

Just saw a hedgehog in the garden. Only the second one I've seen since we've been living here.

the closest I can get is a Fairy Moth or Long Horned Moth, try adela septentrionella thing is I don't think they're generally found in the UK

might be wrong on that one though

A Notter.

As seen on the Notter thread.

2 wrens, a grey wagtail and lots of lovely butterflies on the wandle trail today

I forgot to post about the wowbadger I encountered on Thursday night.

It didn't actually try to knock me off, but instead ran alongside for maybe 20 metres, wiggling its arse provocatively, before diving for a gap in the undergrowth.

Cheeky fucker.
