Aw, what cutesy little hands and twitchy noses, you need a buzzard!

Cracking capture!!

Thanks Lester!

Doesn’t seem like much to squabble over. Not anymore. Great shots of the action, Sid!

Thanks Levina, none of the wild things seem to like polecat to eat very much, even the foxes turn their noses up at it, which is why, I think, that it's taken a week or so to get to this stripped a point. I picked one up off the road a couple of years ago and left it out as usual and nothing touched it at all, it just sort of dissolved into the ground over a couple of months. The birds don't seem to like squirrel either but the foxes have them no problem.

Now the species list looks like you've been in my neighbourhood. Nice shots.

Thanks, we have loads of Blue tits everywhere, this is juvinile from summer of course.

All good shots, Lester, but these two are particularly nice.

Many thanks Levina.

Oh a mousy! I like mice. Of course they breed like rabbits, there is that…

Aren’t they all picky buggers!

I wonder what causes them to dislike polecats and squirrels.

Глаза действительно большие. Замечательный образ, Александр!
Thank you, Levina ).

Oh, I got a heads up but the comment was deleted.

That's a terrific shot, Charles.

I love that you actually shot birds while here.
And what a lovely surprise to unexpectedly see you in this thread!

That's interesting Sid
I was having feral cat problem and thought it a waste to bury them so left in middle of paddock expecting the ravens to have a party as they do when there's a road kill possum.
They completely ignored the cats

I wish, I can hear and see them sometimes from the garden but only high in the sky, they don't hunt in the city.
