A neighbour's cat just got into my robin's nest. If I get my hands on it it will be an ex-moggy.

sparrows and starlings woke me this morning shouting about a cat that was hiding in the garden

On a trip down to Teesdale yesterday I made the most of the 'beautiful'  8) ;) spring weather and drove around the moors in the steady rain looking for photographic inspiration. This Red Grouse was happy to pose for me whilst I stayed dry in the car.

That bird looks as  "groused off" with the cold rain as we would be. Great portraits though.

A very wet squirrel on Sunday
A fine sunny day yesterday so a few butterflies around -a Peacock, one or more small whites, a male Orange Tip and this female Orange Tip.  It was the only one which sat still long enough to be photographed.

I was weeding near the fish pond when I noticed this little visitor, there is another somewhere, I can hear him croaking.

John I love sitting at the pond at night listening to the frogs, haven't done this lately as its been so cold here. Lots of tadpoles and this year we have baby fish already. Must have been that nice weather we had weeks ago.

You can't beat it Angie, the wife and I love sitting out here with a drink or two listening to the pond fountain and the wildlife.
