I saw a ginger fox chasing a ginger cat outside our house in the middle of the night.  It didn't catch it though as it came trotting back a minute later. That cat is a right pest to my birds, but I wouldn't wish that fate on it.

At least the cat was reminded that it is not top of the food chain !

A fox dashed over the road tonight in front of my car on my way home,not too far from the allotments. I hope all the chickens are safe.

The lesser celandines are flowering and there are buds on the wild primroses that grow on one of the banks of the garden. Lovely so see.

Smallish grass snake - 40 cm long and as thick as my thumb. In the bedroom. I'm guessing one of the cats carried it in...

Still alive but playing dead, so easy for Mr Snoop to grab and take outside. I'm not so bothered by snakes if I know they're not venomous. I spotted a very large snake once in my veg patch. It shot off into the undergrowth before I could identify it. That had me a bit cautious, to be sure.

Sat in the shed today at the back of my husband's shop as we are doing stocktaking I saw out of the corner of my eye some movement and thought it was a cat.  When it was in front of me found out it was a red squirrel.  We could get about two feet away from it before it hid behind the sheets of ply, finally found it's way out but was lovely to see so close up.
