First toad rescue of the year. I saw none on the village road between the two ponds, so returned home. Thankfully, I spotted this little chap just as he was crossing our driveway. How to help amphibians in spring | WWT https://youtu.be/H-14kB5hoBY

Sunset
Lovely evening walk at home with my furry buddy.
Queenie
Queenie looking at me as if to say: ’Please, just get on with it!’ Each morning as I step out the back door I hear the fluttering of little wings as she flies in to sit on the gutter above me.. it's either that, or she sits on the window ledge announcing her presence...
In Memory
It’s teeny-tiny lettering but I am so glad I did it. Am also so pleased they are together at the top of a section within the design. Dad was a keen sailor and supported the RNLI. He would be pleased for sure. In Memory

Sydney Bat is now snoozing
Sydney bat is still living with us. As mentioned previously, thankfully she wasn't cat attacked but she was slightly underweight for this time of year. She gradually gained weight but refused point-blank to self-feed. This continued for weeks, and by the time she'd...
Greater Horseshoe Bat

Grounded
It is important that all rescues are able to take off from the ground should they inadvertently become grounded. A healthy bat can take off from the ground; and in the safety of my bat flight, this pipistrelle was preparing to take flight and flew well. Unless they...
