It's always on in our house when it's televised as my husband and all of my three sons really like it. I just don't join in! We used to watch it years ago but I found it got boring to be honest - too predictable - so I stopped.

I can hear a young blackbird chirruping in the honeysuckle and the anxious clucking of a parent.

The parents have given up the blackbird chicks - they are out on their own whilst their parents eat our red currants

This is their third brood so there are five other teenage ones skulking around

We used to see an albino squirrel in the trees behind the flat we lived in ten years ago.  Our daughter's friend insisted it was a chinchilla, but now I know what it obviously really was.

Chinchillas are totally different shapes  . 

Two young blackbirds and a young robin about, none being fed by the parents ……...

There is a lovely video on this website of a mother hedgehog building a nest.

Ooh noones posted on here for a few weeks.....

Just to say our "resident" flock of martins (30-50) wheel about our garden and village a lot of the time and yesterday evening while barbecuing in our little  - orchard, there was a frantic low chattering and swooping - and my husband said "sparrowhawk chase". I have often heard them doing this but this time the sparrowhawk also swooped by right close to us - within a few metres of our heads, followed by the massive flock of martins chasing it off, soon followed by a whole load of jackdaws in a nearby tree who joined in - great sight to see

I went our to hang out the washing earlier and thought the dog had been very ill in a corner of the garden  .  A visit to the vet came to mind until I looked closer.  It was two enormous fat slugs mating, which looked like two large stools from the dog and what I thought was an amount of mucus was, in fact, the egg sac (I think).

Anyway it didn't lok very nice and I didn't want the dog interfering with it so they were dispatched into the wooded area over the fence.
