Exciting week

It's been an interesting week.  There has been a lot of fox fighting (over food) this week but I will post the video's on here at the weekend.

My Wood Mice have decided to expand their family.  This week I managed to catch sight of two little babies.  They are tiny.  I managed to get a photo of one of them (below) whilst it was hiding in the corner of my plastic shed that houses my bird food.

To give you an idea of size the plastic box he is next to is a normal sized lunchbox.  Excluding the tail he is just bigger than a 50 pence piece.

The next exciting thing was discovered this morning.  Hoglet has been coming into the garden for food.  Recently he has started to use the other hog house to rest in during the night in between meals.  But during the day he disappears.  Each morning I have checked the hog house to see if there are any signs he's been in there overnight and add some more bedding (hay) is needed.  I always take my camera with me and open the lid very carefully just in case.

This morning I carefully opened the lid and there curled up fast asleep was hoglet.  He didn't even stir.  I took a couple of pictures without using a flash so that it didn't disturbe him.  Fingers crossed he decides to hibernate here.

Bless.
