Spotted a red squirrel on my way up to Luccumbe at the weekend.  We only have reds here, any greys have to be reported and would be dispatched.

Watched a few sea trout jumping a water fall, also saw dipper at close quarters on Sunday.

Lucky you on both counts, a dipper is one of my love to see birds but no luck yet.

Always nice to see the dipper when out with the fly rods !

I suspect they fill up on salmon and seatrout eggs on the redds but seeing how few dippers there are it should  little or no difference to the fish numbers! :)

Aww lovely, must get round to making a pond, away from the ducks. :) We have plenty of toads around but don't see many frogs in the garden.

I need to share my ridiculous excitement at being able to add a site to the map for Ivy Bees. WE saw some in September when we were on holiday in Broad Haven, and thought they looked like oddly coloured honeybees. There were hundreds of them swarming over the ivy flowers.

On Autumn Watch earlier this week, they showed a clip of --- our bees!! and they are Ivy Bees.

I went on their website, submitted a photo and location and now "our bees" have their very own red dot  on the map... first siting in Pembrokeshire.

How cool is that?  :D :D :D

That is really very cool!  :D

Beautiful sunny afternoon yesterday, I decided to wander down the back of my works where there's a wild and boggy area with lots of trees and a small patch of water. I was surprised to see so many ducks - at least a dozen Teal, two Shoveller, a Gadwall, and a handful of Mallard. But best for me were four Roe Deer, who were'nt in too much of a hurry to run away. Three kept stopping and looking back at me, the fourth just wasn't bothered at all and just stood there for ages. Wish I had my camera  ;)

Oh my goodness, took the dogs up the farmers drive past the park and saw what I thought was a ginger dog in beautiful condition sniffing the bottom of the goalposts. Then it sauntered off. It was a gorgeous big fox. Super nick. No hurry at all even though I had the dogs. Though neither saw one another. It was 2.30 this afternoon. :ohmy:

Badgers in my garden this evening, it's so nice to see them again. I would put food out for them, but the Rat Population seems to be increasing in this  area , even had one hanging upside down on my bird feeder like a squirrel . >:(
