Mainly Mammals 2019

A family of Brown Rats is not everyone's cup of tea, but the youngsters are quite photogenic running around rotten and hollow branches

Certainly a better habitat than in my garden where I see them occasionally on Hoggie trailcam, but don't really mind as we aren't overrun ... my poison crazy neighbours see to that!! Also see families of them at birdfeeders at local reserve, as you say Nige, quite appealing to watch the tiny youngsters!

Brilliant photos Nige.

Rats, whether folk like it or not, are part of nature, part of the eco system, natures hoovers, and very able to adapt to their surroundings.

I personally find them fascinating, and will happily watch and photograph them.

Good photo Hazy, we didn't take too many photos back then did we, unlike now when everybody snaps with phone and poses grrrrrr.

I know what you mean, but I suspect half the reason was because it was too expensive and too much hassle, buying the film, getting it developed and needing physical storage. I don't miss that aspect. In fact, I recently scanned most of my old stuff so it's now digital.

We found this one asleep in Thetford Forest this afternoon today, we had to walk past very quietly. 

Oh dear, mortuus porcus.

Lol Tony x 2 "If you go down to the woods today.. ." dead piggy ? or a Gruffalo ? ! Gruffalus Sleepus ?

Nice one Tony, not sure which is the easiest to understand. This is one of the pieces on a new sculpture trail.
