Not able to go out to photograph birds away from home so sorry to let you down but I have painted an Owl for you this week (from one of my photographs)!

I love it Graham!

Never mind the D850, a set of paintbrushes are a brilliant substitute.

I am afraid lockdown has curtailed excursions for more exotic birds And garden birds are the order of the day.....

The ducks have arrived for their summer holiday (one pair or another have been coming here for over 10 years). They no a soft touch ...and get a scoop of corn. Thus replete they obligingly cr*p on the patio and return to the river for a bath. Nice!

We have an ailing hedgehog with a swelling on the side of its face. It comes out prematurely before dark (not sure if it's eyesight or timing sensor is effected). To give it a fighting chance we distribute a handful of dried mealworms in its path. The ducks however have discovered THEY like mealworms ....but are too timid to face a grunting brush. But as soon as the hog emerges about 6pm the ducks see him trundling across the lawn they give chase... they KNOW their will be mealworms.....


Isn't their a pub called The Hog and Duck?

Looks like a very poorly hedgehog, that is one bad swelling.

Yup.
But it's eating well, it curls up when approached. No point in taking it to the RSPCA because their needles are too ready in cases like this. (Not a fan of that organisation)

I fully expect it not to come one day but in the meantime it still wants to eat...which is a sigh it hasn't given up yet.

Like Eric and many others we are spending lots of time in the garden. This Starling not at all bothered that I was sitting quite close with my cup of tea when it came down to drink.

People dismiss them but they have such lovely markings.
