Yes, you certainly found it Roy, but you'll never guess what it's in.

We have been busy in the garden refurbishing hedgehog houses, 3 of which are occupied, tidied up the bughouse, all recycled, and cleaned out the wildlife pond a bit which is full of newts. Also built a new beehive to add to the other 5.
Great Crested Newts are now a protected species I believe. I haven't seen a hedgehog for a while but I loved them as a kid.
You are right about the newts. Currently we have 6 hedgehogs in the garden and going by the activity every night we are about to have a lot more!
Often seen hedgehogs late at night but not seen any for a few months now, one huge one in particular. Some of of the less enlightened neighbours have blocked fences off at the bottom stopping them from getting between gardens.
However, lockdown has made one of the foxes a great deal braver. Have seen it out in the road late at night - standing its ground until I’m about 10m away. Just stands there looking. The complete lack of traffic has helped it widen its territory to the tarmac. Before you would only get a glimpse of it before it ran off into the night.

Was only discussing a wildlife pond with my wife last night, depends how long this lockdown goes on, still keeping myself busy at the minuteWe have been busy in the garden refurbishing hedgehog houses, 3 of which are occupied, tidied up the bughouse, all recycled, and cleaned out the wildlife pond a bit which is full of newts.

Thats great to hear you have so many hogs, hopefully their numbers will increase a bit now theres not so many cars on the road
One of this years projects is to clean out and reline my pond, It has been a wildlife pond for about a year since I gave up the battle with the Heron. I was waiting until the weather warmed up a bit but will have to wait a bit longer now as it is a mass of tadpoles.
This bird has been around for a while not sure what it is .going to try and get a better pic
Is it pure white as the pic would suggest and what size is it pal
Yes all white smaller than a black bird but looks bigger than a sparrow,I don’t have the time to sit and wait just hope I get a better pic as I’m carrying the camera with me now.
We see 2/3 hedge hogs each night on our garden night camera feeding in both a house and a large plastic box with the correct size/shape hole cut in it.We have been busy in the garden refurbishing hedgehog houses, 3 of which are occupied, tidied up the bughouse, all recycled, and cleaned out the wildlife pond a bit which is full of newts.

Your wild life collection looks very good, we have 4 bird feeding stations and a pond netted with fish having lost gold fish and carp. Geoff

Thats great.
We have three boxes two done seem to be being used but did not get round to cleaning out this time.We have got sparrows in a town house type in middle and top sections. Last year we saw woodpecker pecking away at the middle section and on checking it out there was a dead bird inside.

At last managed to get a half decent shot of the white bird
And a skylarks nest and a wagtail that's in one of our old tractors
Heres one more and our owl
Looks like it has got a yellow marking on its back?
Or is that just a reflection?

Need a front one of the white bird pal but it's an obvious albino and doing very well to survive as they are and easy target for predators, it will more then likely be breeding in the area, live seeing nest shots, found a few today, blackcap was my fave, climbed up to a Jay's and common buzzard, also found a couple of wrens nest, the Jay's was emptyLooks like it has got a yellow marking on its back?
