Lovely pics.

I saw a massive dragonfly passing by our kitchen window yesterday - do not know what species - but lovely to see.

Treat? They're protected, you're not supposed to eat them!

[harris467]

Lol but he went down a treat with a bit of HP sauce 

Nah, I put him right back where I found him, but what a lovely find he was.

I've never seen one of those. What is it?

A common newt apparently, except not so common these days

Some newts can be poisonous to touch apparently - don't know what sort though.

We found a little newt like that one in one of my potato bags last year. We put him in the bog plant pot in my pond

Tuesday evening while at work apparently we had a fox visit us at 9.30 helping himself to our plums off the tree. He'd set off the security light but he wasn't fussed. My son had nipped in the garden for a smoke and watched him. There was a bit of panic as I don't shut up the hens till I come home at 10 but he just ate what he wanted and lolloped off.

A peacock butterfly on the garden table - it sat there for ages. Lots of dragonflies on the river near our holiday cottage. The leaves on the trees in the woods are are all changing colour and are full of nuts and berries - plenty of good for the birds and red squirrels.

I saw a baby one in my greenhouse yesterday.

At the moment we have 'Boris' the baby badger in the garden every evening and we now discuss what we are going to leave from our evening meal for him!  He comes in about 9pm and have tried to get photos  but they are all too dark , we only see him when we shine a torch down the garden.  He's got so used to this now that it doesn't stop him, he seems to like cheese savoury biscuits from Poundland and a bag is lasting us several nights and at a 'pound' a time we are going to keep putting them out for him. He also likes garlic bread!  I have a common in front of my house and Sandown Golf Course behind so I know where he comes from.

Lucky you Wighty - we get badgers wandering through our garden now and again and I love to see them.

Not so keen on today's critter though - the first daddy longlegs that I have seen so far this year.

A shrew in among the melons... Between rodents and canines, it's amazing we've managed to pick any this year.
