I found a shrew among my leeks when I was weeding them the other day - he scuttled off under a corner of the brassica cage

Look what we found in the garden tonight once it got dark! 

No wonder my cats have had fleas lately

Noticed this evening that it has been a bad year for acorns. Last 2 years have been a mast year. We've been spoiled.

Apologies to arachnophobes, but it seems to be a bumper year for garden spiders, I get wreathed in webs everytime I go out, not to mention mummified flies. Pulled a big spider out of my hair yesterday!

DBG - you lucky thing having a snail munching machine in the garden

Found a baby viper in my garage yesterday. Totally wrong place and wrong time, what is going on? Also Kamkazi Bambis jumping out into the road on a regular basis. I love to see them in the woods, but veg plot is a no-go area!

Ooh no I don't like the sound of the baby viper . I need a health warning before mention of those things

We had the most amazing blood red sun rise this morning - spent ages watching it come up over the horizon.

Our for a short drive with OH this morning - the berries on the hedgerow trees are amazing - the birds well be well fed.

found in separate spots while weeding 2 little frogs just over 1cm long thought it was a little late in the year for them.

last week saw 4 long small creatures weaving across road into plots. today OH sensed something watching him, a weasel was peeking round gate before getting in to next plot to explore strawberry/sweetcorn beds. dont know if a good or bad thing to have on plot. hope i see it later today.

As long as there is no livestock on the plot it can only be good mrsbean, they will only be there for wild food. Lucky you, get the camera out and a comfy seat and enjoy.

Very true - when we had a stoat visiting the garden the rabbit population plummeted.
