    Re: Wildlife Challenge!

    Hey, that's a good catch. I don't recognise the animal? Care to share with us the location, etc.?

        it was taken in west wales, at the end of my garden. couldn't say what it is, probly not a mouse as the body was a little too short.. could be a vole.
        Next time i saw the critter the neigbours cat had been at it.. shame

            brilliant!

            I went out the other day to look in the garden, and saw Jeremy (my cat) looking very alert, sure enough, there was a little mouse in the corner, ran in to get my camera to pop a picture on this thread, alas by the time I had returned he was gone

            Mr Jingles eh? Named after one of the finest films ever made, The Green Mile?

              Excellent shots. I really must get down to the seafront here so I can get closer up. Love the first one especially.

                  Hi Chryslerchick,

                  If you can, try waiting outside for the fox. If he's turning up for food he will get used to you being out there with him. Keep very still, and don't approach him or move your arms rapidly (fast movement tends to make them scarper). In time you'll probably be able to get very close indeed. They don't seem too worried by flash, though you sometimes get eyeshine.

                  Nice visitor to have

                    Yay, the Squirell returneth!



                    Not the best of pictures, but shot through the back door window. He has disapeared for a while (well, I say he, chances are its a different squirell altogether), but I am pleased they are coming back.

                      Words, I checked out your Fox blog,and was amazed at your Fox pics!

                      Where on earth do you live to get such a wonderful family of foxes visiting your garden, I am very envious!

                        Re: Wildlife Challenge!

                        OK, here's a few from my garden

                        Loads of these in the pond this year - about the size of my thumb-nail!



                        Could be mum?



                        We had loads of dragonflies (Ruby Darter?) around the pond this year



                        Looks more like a moth than a butterfly (a skipper?)




                        We get plenty of birds in the garden (I think the the pond helps) from wrens up to herons (the pond again!). We always have plenty of feeders up too, so perhaps it's about time I had a crack at bird photography.
