A young badger I filmed back in May tucking in to raisins, the soundtrack is provided by a young woodpecker looking out of its hole above me.

Edit:

My short Badger video has made it's way on to the BBC Spring Watch 'twitter' page... I've added a link here and at the bottom of the comments.

Just love the tones...... Been to reedbeds at all different times of the year, late spring though and you get these gorgeous colours which change with the light... Just add a bird & I'm ecstatic!

This afternoon near Morton lochs in Fife.

Red Kite over the Gwrhyd mountain in the Amman valley in West Wales.

Cuteness overload! One from the summer a Great Crested Grebe carrying its youngster on its back. 😍😍

This Comma has been hibernating in a family members garage, but they are about to have the roof repaired so we have transported it into my greenhouse and hopefully less disturbances in the coming months. The male Comma is slightly darker than the female, and both sexes have a brighter golden form called Hutchinsoni, which is produced by the earliest caterpillars that developed in spring.

This wee person was in Tentsmuir forest this morning

Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus)

Best viewed Large. Braved the heat today and got our reward, YAY :-)

RSPB Green status list.

He kept standing on the ice I am sure he thought it was water either that or he was testing it to see if it was slippery. Yes, there is fresh water nearby.

Yorkshire Wolds

I always advise people not to trust the fungi one finds in Epping Forest - here is a good illustration why. These flies visit a variety of unsavoury places before alighting on edible oyster mushrooms.
