What animals/wildlife have you seen today?

[jontz01]

Awful mobile snaps but we saw some seals yesterday... there were young ones playing in the pool too.

Went to walk into a cave and got chased out by mum seal. Made a pretty sharp exit.





Eta. The sea wasn't very level that day either. Flat earth my arse.

a blue tit at the new;y opened bird feeder in the garden this morning..

throwing an amazing amount of shit out of the feeder for small bird

and bumped into the foxy at work today as it snuck around the electric van charge point as i was have a drag

did not seem to bother with me standing a few feet away from it

 

[weepiper]

Three buzzards, two nuthatches, a woodpecker, my sparrowhawk from yesterday and a fluffy bunny. Not all pictured.

 

[JimW]

Lots of birdlife up in the hills as usual though no raptors today, bats on the way back at dusk.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Kestrels, skylarks, buzzards, wild ponies, rabbits, great crested grebes and a partridge.

Alongside the usual tits and finches on the bird feeder and the omnipresent gulls, pigeons and crows.

 

[RubyToogood]

Picked some snails off my carrots before I went to bed. Some tit thing in the garden. A duck at the lido.

I sometimes see rabbits at work, usually when they’ve come out for silflay in the evening

 

[planetgeli]

'kin loads of dead foxes and a dead badger. Usually the other way around. Oh and a dead pheasanty thing and a dead magpie. Carnage on the roads around here, usually happens on a foggy morning but it wasn't foggy today.

BUT I saw a live fox, deep red, running away from my car and it's the nearest one I've ever seen to the village. About 1/4 mile. They just don't visit (our bins).

Red kites, red kites, red kites.

 

[planetgeli]

I have six beautiful cows in a field opposite my house. Does that count? Probably not but they are gorgeous.

 

[nogojones]

I just met a weasel over the park. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before

I've only seen two. One of them, bizarrely, was in Calais town centre.

This was pretty much central Cardiff. We're lucky to have a big park separating the east and west side of the city.

 

[JimW]

Raptor this evening, kestrel I think but might have been a falcon, only got a quick glimpse.

 

[discokermit]

saw a couple of muntjacs the other day. lots of them round wolverhampton.

 

[weepiper]

One of my long lens pals showed me a kingfisher nest this morning. Here is the female just chilling on a branch below it. You can just see she has a sandy beak in the first couple of pictures: I watched her go in and out of the hole in the bank several times so she must still be excavating. Pal says he saw a male with her for a good while there yesterday so they are already paired up. She yakked a pellet up while I was there too but I didn't have the shutter speed to capture it properly. The trick now will be getting there at a time of day when the light gets under the bridge better.

 

[danski]

Looks so tropical

 

[Chilli.s]

Housemartins and a buzzard

 

[bellaozzydog]

Mainly seapigeons

 

[Silas Loom]

A lone dustmite

 

[cesare]

A little field mouse - brown with a.white tummy - robbing the bird bowl feeder. Very cute mouse, but no.

 

[tommers]

I saw a giraffe yesterday. It wasn't in the wild but I was (I was looking through the fence at the nature park from the public footpath outside.)

 

[RubyToogood]

A dead fox on the road. A bat over my garden . Earwigs. Slugs and snails on the nightly mollusc hunt. Fewer than yesterday

N has seen a lot of bats (probably pipistrelles he reckons) the last few nights, around dawn when he finishes his shift. It's in an area he's not actually seen them previous years, so that's got to be a good thing.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Coyote in the back yard. The neighbor's cat wisely made a runner for the house. I ran interference until she was safely inside.

I'm watching bats out the front of mine right now. Really do like the fast bastards

 

[Elpenor]

I’ve not seen any bats so far this year, but often get them in and around the trees at the front of the house. Usually a little too fast darting around to get a picture but they’re wonderful to watch

Aren't they just?

I like to think of them like an aerial ballet troupe.

We've got a whole family of foxes living in our garden. A vixen and three cubs. The cubs are unbelievably cute - they haven't even turned red yet and are a dark brown colour.

I like watching them, but want them to grow up and bugger off so we can attempt to fox-proof the garden.

We've always had visiting foxes, but these seem to have based themselves under the decking and an adult fox chased our elderly and nervous cat the other day. I suspect it thought it was protecting its young. Cat is a greedy little tyke but I suspect a live fox cub is a bit much, even for him!
