Not a quality photo, taken with my phone whilst walking the dog at my sister's place in France. Had guessed that there were Pine Martens nearby, as occasionally chicken eggs would mysteriously appear up in the rafters of the barn, shame that my proof is from seeing a dead one. Beautiful creatures though.

So that is where the Red Squirrels have gone :)


Yep

Not a grey reported in central southern norway yet......:D


But hear rumours that lynx ( beautiful large cats, plenty here ) are going to be reintroduced to the UK, take good care of them:)

So that is where the Red Squirrels have gone :)

They are reasonably widespread here, though I haven't seen any locally for a while...

Found this little bat hibernating amongst the logs in the woodshed.

Think its a Myotis mystacinus ( location central southern norway and -15C ) did not wake up when I moved it to a safer location.

Cute animal :)
