Walking home

Walking home from school yesterday I encountered a large rat feeding on some of the birdseed alongside a blackbird and a house sparrow. Theres not much else to say, except that it did not seem bothered about me being there.

ogden this morning

birdlife very good:

2 jays

one flew across and so i got out my camera and waited for the other to do the same. i stood there in wind and rain for 15mins without a hope. the jay sat in the tree for ages hopping around the branches-fab birds though

1 female goosander

quite close to the shore but still not close enough to get any photos

usual mallards and blackheadd gulls

quite a large number of crows, chafinchs, dunnocks and robins this morning too. crows are quite flighty to say they can beat up a buzzard

mammal life was brill

1 roe deer climbing the bank of a river. not really aware that we were watching it. we saw it on one side of the river very close but then it idssapeared and reappered having crossed the river on the other side. it started to eat some plants and progressivly made its way out of sight. great views

1 rat which kept swimming back and forth other the water treatment area. it must have been very confused

ilkly this afternoon:

1 rat showed up in the wall
1 mandarin doing its little cheep
20 mallards being mishcheivous and always looking out for bread.
5 pigeons
7 woodpigeos in the trees not doing much just sitting
3 farm ducks
1 grey wagtail

good day seen lots of nice things
