Do you ever see wild animals?
Living in Lincolnshire in England, in the middle of nowhere, I see wildlife every day.
Walking Lily the dog twice a day through the fields surrounding the farm where I live, it’s a daily treat.
Most mornings we’ll see hares and rabbits. Occasionally we’ll see a Roe Deer. Yesterday there were three Red Kites hunting the edge of a wood for an unwary rabbit.
Spring is the best time to see hares around where I live. They hurtle about, chasing each other, stand on their hind legs, and box, totally oblivious to Lily and I. I have to keep Lily on a long lead or she would be off chasing them all over the county.
In the garden we have a variety of wild birds which I encourage and feed. I have bird feeders hanging outside the windows so we get entertained by anything from a blackbird to a wren. In the summer months there’s the odd hedgehog snuffling about.
Very few of us will go a day without seeing a wild creature of some sort if we venture outside. Even in the city we live side by side with a vast selection of wildlife.
I keep promising myself a trail cam to capture on film the shyer creatures in my garden. I even have the odd mouse running about the house, especially in winter when they sneak in for the warmth and odd biscuit!
Yes, every day is a nature walk for me, I’m a lucky guy!
The mouse made me smile.. x
They’re part of the house in the winter, I think they’re cute, I just have to keep the biscuits in Tupperware or tin boxes! Mouse droppings are annoying though, I don’t eat garibaldi biscuits for that reason!
😂 🐁😍
Do you have cats, or how do you keep the mouse odd? 🙂
The odd mouse, a breed unique to our old farmhouse. They get in through the stonework as winter approaches and leave in the spring. We used to have cats, but they never caught one in the house! I just let them get on with it, I can hear them some nights, partying in the roof space, I thump on the ceiling and they turn the music down then…..
That made me lol. Thank you x
