Post your Pet

We don't have any domestic pets, however we do enjoy quite a variety of wildlife in and around our urban garden.

I am sharing some wildlife photos with you. Perhaps others can post wildlife images which they have taken on this thread. I don't think the topic warrants a separate thread.

Firstly, a line of trees has been pollarded in neighbouring gardens. In one garden, a large bird feeder has been fixed on top of a large reduced tree stump.

Talking about birds, these magpies love to peck holes out of our lawns. A year or two ago, I witnessed a Jay fighting off 3 magpies in our back garden. The Jay was encircled, and did very well in standing his ground.

This guy has been a real nuisance digging holes and leaving wet smelly parcels about the place. My fences, wires etc are working in keeping foxes out. Note the trampoline edge. This trampoline was erected a year ago, and had been hardly used by the family. Hold on wait a mo.....

My wife called me to see 3 fox cubs playing here. It was great to watch. As soon as I pushed the window open to snap them, they were watching. I was very quiet about my business, but not stealthy enough, Hayles :D

I got this quick photo of a butterfly. As soon as I moved to take a better shot, it was off :(

So, there you go. Things from a different perspective. Our visitors, rather than pets.

Richard, I've seen a video of fox on trampolines so this must be something they like to do. Maybe they're tiggers because they like to bounce.

Your photos would be very welcome in the "What can you see in your backyard?" thread, started recently by Ski. Once she spots these, I'm sure she will tell you too:-) Some good snaps over there.

That fox on the trampoline-- was it JUMPING??? Presumably there is a hole in the netting?:-) Or perhaps he Did-a-Tigger? To get in, I mean. (with thanks to mollysmom!)

And don't tell me someone put a feeder at the TOP of that tree?

How about posting that moth in the "What is it?" thread? (promise to keep shtum:-)). I was searching all round your garden for ages before I found it...!

Oh My!
Serenaded so early on a Monday morning!
With such a good old song too!
You have a very fine voice.
You should go far in opera.
Very far.
As far as possible:-):-)

...."I could be cheeky and post on what is it in a couple of weeks' time ;)"

You would be quite safe with that. No one reads this stuff over here:-)

EDIT: Lordy, trying to be clever with chopping text doesn't work here...!

If so a Must-Hear for me:-):-):-)
