Spring on it's way

Mrs Hog is still fast asleep in the hog house.  Even after the nice warm day we had on Thursday she didn't get up.  They say that hedgehogs can predict the weather 10 days ahead.  If so then the warm weather is not here to stay yet.

My visiting Grey Wagtail is in everyday.  His throat feathers are beginning to go black.  Below is his winter plumage.


Wood Mice have found their way into the hedgehog feeding station.  So far I have not managed to catch them on camera.

I did manage to catch some good fox footage on 26th February.  I am not sure of the relationship between these two especially as the camera does not give you a good idea of scale. However there is a possibility that this is a mother and cub.



In urban fox groups often the previous years cubs stay around and help out.  So this could also be an older sister teaching a younger cub who gets to eat first.
