I thought I'd get this one started for the year with a couple of likely lads that got in the fat ball container & then the lid must have fallen back after them! I think they are field (wood) mice.
I released them in the vines & ran home so they couldn't follow me! LOL

It is a comic book series about the Gauls and Romans that originated in France a long while ago but became very popular everywhere and tended to satirise one country per book - I still think it's great. All the Gauls had silly names ending in x and Obelix (the big one) in particular loved to hunt and eat wild boar and it appeared in every book. Asterix is on the left.

No Wild Boar for me, but I did come across this Roe Deer buck out today

I'm sure it would have been had I taken it in ancient Gaul :)
PS I should have said, the series is called Asterix the Gaul.
They also made numerous cartoon type films in France about the Gauls with Gerard Dépardieu in lead role.
**Getafix begins the story living in a cave in the forest and looking much like a stereotypical caveman. He also uses a walking stick**
Sounds a lot like me only I live in mobile in quarry using tripod to get my fix of Kestrel! Lol

To say that the wind coming off the North Sea was cold today would be a massive understatement.!!
Sometimes it's worth it though. Very distant, but it made the cold go away for a bit. :-)

It was certainly brass monkey weather and well done you for venturing out when most of us were hunkering down in the central heating lol Having said this to get that sighting of the otter was well worth your efforts and frostbite lol - well from our comfortable point of view !

Thanks, Hazel. Today was as cold as I've felt it for a long time, but as you say, well worth it. It was around 2°C but the strong wind off the sea made it feel like -10°C.!! Just exposing my thumb to focus was a task in itself.!!
