Hit and killed a Badger yesterday with my van. Couldn't avoid it. Cried so hard I nearly threw up and haven't slept. Might go and make a peace offering of peanuts to a local sett to try and assuage my awful guilt 😭

I like it when they immediately get that you're feeding them

New guy just dropped (Dan's had this tank set up for like 2 months, and yes it's just him and snails)

Not the sort of message you want to get whilst being away but one of my newer hens, Junco, died unexpectedly overnight last night. Really gutted, she was so nice.

Fun afternoon near Bristol checking nest boxes, three Barn Owls and two Jackdaws! Ringed the Jackdaw chicks, will come back when the owls are bigger 😁

If you saw her on the first 5 minutes of an on-lead walk where she knows she's going somewhere exciting, you'd be forgiven for thinking she's had no training at all 😂

Amazing to see and handle my first ever Barbastelle bats (under license) as part of a long-term monitoring scheme with Vincent Wildlife Trust!!! 😍 I've wanted to see one of these for years!

"Merlin is making people stupid and losing field skill-" hey, how about shut up and be happy people are engaging with wildlife, my mum sent me these from Spain and is having a great time recording new bird species, she would never have bothered before

That's it for our first Pawsability show, one 3rd in jumping and a few Es, but she hit all the training targets I wanted her to do, thrived in the show environment, and had loads of fun. I'm so pleased with her, she tried SO hard 💕

She was running clear this morning but we were told to stop as the timer wasn't working 😭😭😭

So proud of Raven I could cry. Her first outdoor Kennel Club show, smashed the course apart from having to re-do the weave entry, just me to speed up now 😂 all our hard work is paying off 🥹

This is nice - just re-caught this Dunnock in the garden, I first ringed her in November 2021

Got this of a Red-tailed Hawk hunting Mexican Free-tailed Bats in Texas. Honestly kinda love the grain, makes it look like a still from an old gothic horror 😁

My chickens were screaming at something earlier. Ran to the window expecting to see maybe a cat, a big Magpie... There was a Blackbird. Under the bird feeder. How dare he 😡

Day 5 of chest infection thing - slept most of the morning, managed to walk the dog in the afternoon and saw my first Whitethroat of the year, so that was nice 🌼

I have a lot of unlabelled photos of either Tropical or Couch's Kingbirds, I think this is the latter but book unhelpfully telling me to refer to voice 😂
