Odds & Sods 2021

Sorry no fox pics today and probably none until the weekend if then, but you never know--too busy today and tomorrow with other matters. We did see the Mum Fox suckling some of the cubs about 7 pm today. She was lounging in the sun at the back of the garden, leaning against the side of a mound at the back. We only saw three cubs but it may be that the other two had had their dinner first and had gone off, back to sleep under the shed or were playing where we could not see them (on the wood pile behind the greenhouse or behind the shed or between the large tree and the shed). A bit later she was cleaning one of the cubs--very sweet. She seems to be a good mother.

A bit of a Drama Queen this one.!!   :-)

Red Squirrel from yesterday. :-)

Well...I've heard of a "swan dive"...

He's certainly Tufty... can see where the road safety campaign got the name from lol

A few local moorland ones yesterday (Blackamoor and Big Moor). Sheep and cows in there too I know but they do bring a lot to the moors I think, roaming free up there.

Lovely photos Bob, I like the Snapp with the huge bull lying in the ground covering, masked so well with the colours.

Thanks Catlady. A very gentle big lad :)

A pair of collared doves snuggling up on the fence, on a cold and wet morning....

and cropped....

Mrs PR (who doesn't drive) needed to make a trip to Leamington Spa last week, it was either by public transport (not ideal0, or hubby's taxi.....

As I hadn't been a wander in Jephson Gardens for a couple of decades, I seized the opportunity, and saw Mr & Mrs CG with family.....

Love the pic of the sheep among the trees, would make a lovely wall covering:-)
