I make sure the logs from the dead/dying trees in the garden stay on the property, much to the annoyance of the other half.

These creatures need as much assistance as I can give them.

Murder on my lawn last night when a sparrow met its demise at the hands of a hungry sparrowhawk

Last night's unwelcome visitor.

They're getting larger by the year.

Does anyone recognise this critter?

Looks like a Slow worm.

Yes. Slow-Worm.

Wonderful creatures.

Yes, I've not seen one of those around here for years.

I remember when I was about 7 years old grabbing one by the tail & the tail tip broke of the tail off & it run away.

Hurrying off before starting up the mower.

Runs off BeePee, does it?

Not a nature subject as such, but showing apparently biodegradeable products.

Teabags - the dip/string variety that the other half uses in bulk.
These were put in the compost bin well over four years back and are now at the base with the good stuff that I'm growing potatoes in.

As you can see the skeleton is intact and worse still it continues to keep the leaves inside. I could probably make a brew with the remnants.

The choice now is to sift through the whole bin and add to landfill, or put in the wood burner.

Spotted whilst transplanting the spud plants into larger bins.

It looks like a smaller than normal bettle from this region.

Your one also looks drunk, (or dead, can you confirm )?

I turned it upside down for a photo session. But it could be drunk as well

Installing an antenna above the camera, hence the brick dust.

Polly Parrot eating my sunflower seeds

Discovered that wild boars did lots of digging last night on the field next to my house. On the picture is only small part of the field, but in fact there are so many fresh black places.

So you want my Sunflower !
