2022 Quiet Toad Patrolling
These two were on our driveway tonight. A balmy 9C and it had just started to drizzle.....ideal conditions for toad manoeuvres. Whether sitting upright on dry land or lying flat in the rain and pretending not to be there, they are well camouflaged. Sadly failed to...
Rainbow walk
Super walk with Freya and a rainbow.
March Bats
How is it March already?! Bats may begin to emerge and signs of limited activity can be seen. There are small numbers feeding as it gets warmer. In bad weather, they may become torpid. Find out more about what bats are up to throughout the year here:...

Blue’s Roosting Tree

Valentino Bat
Another bat rescue! I had decided I wouldn't accept any more bats for a few weeks as my artwork is being affected, esp. with Toad Patrol now in full swing. And then this chap arrived on my doorstep today, and I wonder how I could ever say 'no can do' ' This is...
