Don,t forget to put your clocks back. As the nights are getting longer perhaps a few quizzes may help pass the time?
Can you name the birds? Apologies for those members not familiar with them.

Great exercise for our brains, Ian - so far I'm just about managing the odd one out in the stag picture and perhaps one or two of the more common birds!   :-\  :)

Maggie, I have plenty more pictures but maybe should leave a space in Wildlife for others to post.

A roe deer visited my garden on Friday night.   How did I know?  A yellow lupin has been flowering all summer.  It had one fresh spike looking good.  On Saturday morning the spike was still there but all the flowers gone.  I'm also quite sure most of the flowers on Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm still had their ray florets on Friday.  The flowers on Gladiolus 'Black Velvet' are also gone.  Hoof prints on the soil confirmed my suspicions.

All correct Chris. The grouse was a young red. Do you want some more?

Just been to look outside for the lights. All I can see is a dull green/white patch on the clouds. Probably thousands of street lights being reflected.
