Scaredy #fox and scaredy cat

#mothiduk A little more information on the caterpillar. It has been immobile about 16 hours since I first saw it. It is 35mm long and I'm now wondering if it is an Eyed Hawk Moth. There is a willow in the garden which has suffered in the drought - I wonder if it has gone looking for food.

I didn't realise Pope Leo was a humanist...

Sparrow and starling water fight...

House martins, I think, but absolutely wonderful. They have nested for years at our primary school. I must check if they have arrived.

Persistent chap. He's been knocking on the window for over an hour.

Our nocturnal visitor... #fox

I have caught glimpses before, but repositioned the camera and caught this the other night.

I was heading home after my morning walk and turned a corner to be surrounded by an explosion of crows. There must have been a dozen and for a moment I was surrounded. It was uncanny and made me smile. (Image: Joel Askey / Shutterstock)

‪This morning I finished the brilliant Sistersong by @silvanhistorian.bsky.social. This afternoon I made a start on @katemossewriter.bsky.social 's The City of Tears.

Day 3 of Badger-geddon (I'm assuming it's a badger by the sheer clumsiness). The photograph was Day 2, today he/she broke into the birdfood bin and helped him/herself to sunflower seeds and dried mealworms.

Oh my god! This is rather fun. And horrible.

Johana Gustawsson and engerthomas.bsky.social 'Son'. About a third of the way through and I resent having to put it down to edit.

Playing Corvid Bingo this morning - just missing magpie, raven and jay for what I might expect round here. Painting by ‪@elidanza.bsky.social‬ ‬

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Two headlines on LBC's news page this morning. I'll just leave these here. #TwoTierBritain

Just started @katemossewriter.bsky.social The Burning Chambers.

Rosewater by @tadethompson.bsky.social. Bought it years ago and it has been behind my plotting whiteboard. Found it yesterday and enjoying tremendously so far.
