Chris59 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 In my garden, there is the rear half of a TR3 body shell, and a Land Rover Serie 3 roof, does it count ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not really. We are really looking for the “unusual” not the typical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter V W Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Today we have a Great spotted woodpecker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 We have one too, comes to feed off a table along with tits, chaffinches, blackbirds. They get through 1.5 litres of peanuts and poultry mix daily, so filling mesh feeders became too much effort. And the resident rat cant reach the table ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve-B Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 We have a pigeon who seems to want to peck our Blink camera that looks at the back our house. Did it 3 mornings at sunrise last week FWIW it soon may be the ex-pigeon if it keeps it up as we get an audible motion alarm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) For something completely different: A Jelly Ear Fungus, on an Elder tree. In reality it's more purple than brown! Edited March 22, 2023 by john.r.davies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

james christie Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 You can tell which is the female, she’s the one with the smile on her face. The male looks exhausted. james Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john.r.davies Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Not so nice yesterday. They are both fearless and curious. I often find them poking around in the garage if I leave the door open. But yesterday, I left the kitchen door open, and came in from the garage to find them at the far end. They panicked, she flew into the window, he flew upstairs! Duck **** everywhere! No, no photos!

Cotswoldiver Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Based on the number of fish 'missing' this morning - a bloody heron! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Commiserations. A heron emptied my pond of fish this spring too. The other day I was sitting on the patio and a dog Fox climbed over the fence not 20 feet away, looked at me, stopped to pee on a bush and sauntered nonchalantly down the side path to the gate. Cheeky bugger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
