Non-Wildlife

[Ken Baileys Ghost]

With a hoopoe and a western subalpine warbler recorded at Portland today, your backyard is about to be invaded by that most horrible excuse for a human being ……the twitcher.

Right weird bunch

Had the misfortune to holiday with some
Some of the most obsessed self absorbed people I have ever met

Tick it off in the book and then on to the next

Look who just popped his head up from the grass in the field behind my house.

Believe that to be the Peter Crouch wasp

 

[Sorry Roger]

Look who just popped his head up from the grass in the field behind my house.

Lovely photo.

Seen my first swallow and now I've just removed my first tick

It must be summer

First slow worm of the season in the back garden yesterday.

Believe that to be the Peter Crouch wasp

I would suggest that is a Southern Hawker.

Our lilac bush was absolutely covered in honey bees today.

Yeah, a female.

Two men have been charged in connection with the felling of the famous Sycamore Gap tree.

Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, have been charged with causing criminal damage after the tree was cut down last September.

They have both also been charged with causing criminal damage to Hadrian's Wall and are due to appear at Newcastle Magistrates' Court on 15 May.

Two men charged over felling of Sycamore Gap tree

There was a national outcry in September when the much-loved, 200-year-old Northumberland tree, which stood next to Hadrian's Wall, was found to have been cut down.

Goldfinch in my garden. Common as muck but absolutely beautiful.

We’ve got two Goldfinches and two jaguars. We are well pleased

Two Jays. We’ve got two Jays!! Evidently an arthritic thumb as well ! As I’m writing this I’ve counted 15 Swifts heading east over my garden

I was getting quite excited about you having two South American big cats in your garden.

 

[stanthevan]

No swifts here yet but we've just had a buzzard and a marsh harrier fighting right above the house.

I looked at KBG’s post and looked at the one above. Who the bloody hell on here lives in South America? Oh, it’s me!

I must be a hundred miles up country from you? They were headed ENE to be exact, they must’ve bypassed the fens
