Leaves in Autumn

Oh, the leaves are really starting to get Autumnal now - even though the weather has just warmed up again! The nights are drawing in and the temperatures had started to feel a little more like Autumn, so mummy bought an indoor hutch for little old man piggy, so he doesn't have to struggle to keep warm over winter (he has lost around 100g in the last three months, so is looking quite thin).

However, tonight you would think it was the middle of summer if it hadn't got dark quite so quickly. And if it wasn't for the lovely leaves the are everywhere.

Now these leaves really rattle in the wind as they are mostly dried out now, hence the lovely golden colour (especially against the blue sky). I love listening to these leaves rustle in the wind...then again I love the rustle of normal leaves in the wind too!

I am not sure why mummy thought they looked better on the floor though! AND she wouldn't let me play with them - she said the seagulls might have something that I can catch. I can't see any seagulls, can you???!


And the final leaves I have to share with you are these intensly purple shades of the blueberry plants that my mummy has planted in the garden. I do love these deep rich colours. We didn't even know they were supposed to turn this colour come winter! I really hope they fruit next year though - as does Piggy, we both like our blueberries!

Right bedtime for little me now :D

Let's finish up May

Image
Starting off with a couple of videos of the Blue tits before the babies fledged. They were in and out constantly!! Then we had Mr greedy crow, showing off to the camera about how many suet balls he can fit into his beak at once haha. This Magpie was finding something very tasty - we are pretty certain it was the live mealworms mummy put out and not a baby blue tit though. This little madam was winding the Blue Tits up - luckily the baby's were at the fledging stage before she found the nest! Some pictures of the pairs coming into the garden. Then the wagtails started bringing the babies in :) Flopped Doris! Just thought this was a great picture. And some baby pictures, as well as the blackbirds and hedgehogs. Right bedtime xxx

Moving into those April showers

Image
We are nearly at the end of the March pictures and moving into the rather soggy end of March, beginning of April lol. It has dried up a little bit again now though. The crows love trying to get the suet feeder down off the feeding station - although it is a little more difficult with the top from the other bird feeder in there also haha. We got our first hedgehog into the garden at the end of March too!! And on April fools day this crow was having great fun with the fat ball hahaha Mummy also wanted to get some pictures of the Magpies eating at the peanut flutter butter feeder - and there are some great pics. And we caught the blue tits on camera!! Mummy got very excited when she saw this! Well anyway I need to head to bed and let mummy get the latest photo's off the camera! Bye-bye!

Spider drops

Image
Ooh hello everybody, Have you come here from mummy's blog? To find out about this picture It is a pretty poor picture as the camera refused to focus on the tiny little spider. So GavGav got interested in spiders over a year ago now. He still has a slight phobis of them, but his way of overcoming it is to find out more aboout them, and the fear transforms into interest instead. It seems to be working as he likes to go out with his sonic toothbrush, making the spiders lunge out to try and grab it, and he has also got himself two taratulas. Hmm it would appear that we do not have any photos of them yet, so I shall have to get some to show you! Anyway, this interest means that they are more likely to notice spiders doing funny, or unusual things - although mummy has always been quite good at paying attention to any animal of any shape or size. Last summer she nearly planted an extra large garden spider. She dug the hole, upended the plant out of its pot, and the spider fell into
