Who am I?

An individual, of no great importance, who is unable to see the natural world as a place for competition. I catch fish, watch birds, derive immense pleasure from simply looking at butterflies, moths, bumble-bees, etc - without the need for rules! I am Dylan and this is my blog - if my opinions offend? Don't bother logging on again - simple!

After dark action

It doesn't matter what the thermometer says, the recent run of blasting easterlies has ensured that running the garden moth trap is a complete waste of effort and electricity. However, all is not lost, once the sun sets, the nocturnal feeding station is providing plenty of entertainment with several Hedgehogs and, at least, three Foxes visiting the food bowls.

It would appear that Hedgehogs find chicken much more attractive than
the regular kitten biscuits and "Meaty Meals" I place in their bowl

I've not yet managed to obtain any images of the Foxes with the back door open, although the Hedgehogs are not so wary and allow plenty of scope to play around with the camera kit. It is an ongoing challenge which is providing a nice distraction from the reality of our current situation. It was whilst I was listening to the game between The Lionesses and Belgium Ladies, a vixen was very active around the garden and I was getting a series of shots through the double glazed window when a Hedgehog joined in with the fun allowing me to grab a shot of the feeding companions.



It was a rather quiet wander around the marsh, this morning, with the only notable sighting being a lone Swallow battling it's way North into the blustery wind.
