...& I cant escape the Rodents...Putting me washing out & found this in the garden...Actually it's not a Rodent but related to Moles which is a different genus...





Shrew'd have thought it...common shrew (Sorex araneus)

don't know much about the mammal, but I claim the £1 you found, I remember dropping it when I was sneaking out of your bedroom window after I broke in and shat in your fridge then wiped my butt on your toothbrush.

I know that MO !
So it was you who that did it ! I thought it was the misses

sorry lloydie, that was a practice run before I hit Macs.

but to be fair, Kelly did let me in and she might have gone over the top on the toothbrush

The £ is just for scale...

I've since been to the shop & spent it.

I don't believe for one moment it's yours Al...Who on Earth has heard of a Scot dropping a £...

Pete told me your £ coins have indentations on them from being gripped so hard & that your purse is welded shut...

poor shrew, probably committed suicide when he realised he was in grain......

definitely the shame pete.......

Marsh Harriers is the posh name that the Grain people use to describe the dung flies that swarm round the local area

Contaminated land more like. Have you seen the weird bodily defects the folk have around there.

Just off the end of me garden, Steve was round at the weekend & one of them flew up over the MacCave & headed off along the row of houses.

They have about a six ft wing span. In the past I have seen about 12 of them all flying at round at once over the marsh land out the back.

Very impressive to watch.

By the way the shrew disappeared from where I left it. Prob a Magpie took it...

So I went out on Nue Red earlier on & as I was going up the driveway a fledgling blackbird was struggling about along the side on next doors house.

When I came back, I put the bike up on a stand & did a few bits n bobs, prepping for the morrow.

Went to tuck the bike up for the night & spotted said fledgling cowering next to the Custard Crumble...Good job I spotted it if I hadn't of seen it in the morning It would have been locked in until Monday...

Anyway I picked it up & put it down at the end of the garden, I even left some bits of ceareal in close range but I saw it move away a bit from where I left it...

A bit later I saw possibly its mum feeding it which was good...

A bit later still I saw a black cat strutting up the garden likcing its lips which isn't so good...

All in all had a bit of a wildlife day...more of the same tomorrow when we meet up with Marty...
