A few from last week

 


Little Pixi cat sunning herself ontop of the composter


Nuthatch with nut


A rarity for us these days. This hedgehog was trundling around the car park at Messingham. We left it some nuts. Used to be a common sight as kids.......now hardly ever seen, very sad.

Some lovely colours and patters in this fungus


Quite a few Snakes Head Fritilaries in the garden this year



Now this is something you need to cast your eyes on !  A large haddock and chips from Johnson's of Gainsborough. Thick, flaky haddock, crispy batter, chips and scraps.....absolutely delicious !


A tree full of corn buntings


I soon got this work stopped. North Lincolnshire Council's idea of managing a wood is to totally strip every bit of understory from it to tidy it up.  The wood has only been there 20 years and already it is deemed untidy. They didn't get much more cleared before they got an e-mail from Karen and the clearing was stopped. A lovely woodland corner now totally ruined. We will be keeping our eye on this bit of woodland that we were both heavily involved with in our working lives. Simon did the species list and planted all 9 acres of it. I did the successful grant application form and ordered the trees. So hands off it !
