OMG Dont know about Robin but WHAT CAN I SAY!!! Sue has baked from scratch!! I think I need some of Robin's HOLY WATER to ease me back into reality!! I don't think in all the time I have know you you have ever made anything from scratch......
Did you see the squabble just now with the badgers and the food? Reminds me of Buster, Bertie and sorry Elsie I can't remember what we called last years cub! I do know it began with the letter B though.
Yorky, I hope that I didn't offend you by asking you to sign your postings.
Off to watch the badgers now. Elaine

just had a look on the forum and the diary and oh the photos i know now why i love badgers so much. i wish i could take photos like that but even with an idiot proof camera my pics are not wonderful lol. have had a busy day today yes Elaine busy good job Robin isnt here as he would have been shocked to hear i have made an apple crumble ( from scratch ) no packets and then after tea Sarah and i made shortbread. I think i must have had a transplant of some sort as i never bake. lol But it was all very tasty. Yorky please try and remember to sign your posts as then we can answer you. Take care all Sue n notts.

The weather looks lovely on cam 1, not. You are going to get very wet tonight Mr Farmer feeding the badgers.
Loved the photos today, can I ask a question the kingfishers on the metal gate post top are they different birds? I ask this because one has a long beak and on another photo it has avery small beak and wondered if this was a yong one? Do hope the swans you saw do come back Mr Farmer, after all the care and attention you lavished on them!
Posting at 6.12 I assume was Yorky, please sign so we know who has posted and we can reply to you/your comments. Elaine

Thank you for your welcome Sue, I will do my best.

Thank you for the new entry in the Diary Mr Farmer I do that it was your swans that you saw and hopefully they will return to the lake. Thanks also for the super photos from Simon, He really is a great photographer. I have been enjoying all the details about moths, Im afraid I am one of these idiots that think that you only get fawn coloured moths and didnt realise how many species and colours there are. That is one of the many super things about this forum, I have learned so much since being on it for the past 3 or 4 years. Many thanks to everyone who is helping to educate me Val Perth

How right you are Mr F about the RSPCA looking for donations! Try looking on their website for a 'contact' address or number/email, all you get is how to donate!
I know they do some good work, but my problem was the second problem in a week we had with them. Our son and his family are in Devon at our place, they have been bothered by a cat, with no collar etc, my daughter in law rang me to ask if we knew who it belonged to, I told her we had seen it the other week and wondered if it were a stray. She asked a few of the neighbours who all agreed it seemed to be a stray, so she got in touch with the RSPCA who sent a woman for it - they saw her come and take the cat, but the very next day it was back!!! How come? However, they did get in touch again and this time it seems it's not back. But it does make you wonder how they could let it get away?
Bye the way - fingers crossed for the swans.

Ah yes Elaine the Poplar Hawk moth - looks very much like a dead leaf! Its one of those I found at Dungeness too - thats a very useful moth website and good for ID-ing them and learning about their habits - thanks for putting that up...Jill(E)

Below I have pasted a link to the webpage I found to identify the moth (hope Mr Farmer allows it) It is the first moth on the thumbnails. It actually looks like a dead leaf.

The moth is still resting in its place on the fencing. Where it will no doubt stay until it gets dark tonight. There was also some interesting facts about it. MAinly that it does not eat, it only eats food in the caterpillar stage.Elaine

Morning all - well afternoon now! Thanks for a very informative diary Mr.F and I hope those black swans you saw fly over are indeed the breeding pair and that they were just having a look round and hopefully will decide to come back to stay this autumn.

Thanks also Vicky for the new pics on the gallery - what a superb photographer Simon is! Those close-ups of the badger, swans, deer and kingfisher are brilliant!

Elaine I'm looking forward to seeing your moth you rescued - there are a lot of different Hawk Moths so it will be interesting to see which one yours is. I'm guessing you were right about it being an Ele though as you saw it on the moth site. They are beautiful I think!

Tina glad you were able to get out for a nice sunny walk today and saw lots of good things! Its a bit rainy on and off here (north Essex) and it was too cloudy to see the Perseids meteor shower last night but I will try and remember to watch again tonight if the sky clears.
Off to get some lunch now ....Jill (E) - I remembered this time!

Morning,all from a fairly warm and sunny south Somerset.Have just got back from walking my handsome GSP (alright,I'm biased),and in the field we walked thro I must have seen almost a dozen small blue butterflies.Aren't they lovely?So I took time to look around and watched all the dandelion flock blowing in the wind,more meadow brown butterflies,bees and wasps.Oh,it was good to be out!Then I had to come back to housework! I see the beavers which were recently released into an area in Scotland have produced at least 2 kits. That's wonderful news for the people who work so hard to reintroduce wildlife.Anyway,back to work.Looking after 3 lively grandchildren this afternoon.Tina

Morning all, hope all are well? Elsie how did it go on Wenesday?
Back to the moths we were talking about lately, I walked up the front with my son earlier this morning and on walking back I saw something on my fencing which I thought was a dead leaf caught on a cobweb, on closer inspection I could see that it was a moth. I shouted to my hubby to come and have a look whilst I quickly grabbed the camera from my bag. I have taken a couple of photos of it that I will send. I also took one one my phone and sent it to Sue. At first we thought it was an Elephant Hawk Moth by the size of it! Have just looked on a butterfly and moth site, (think it might be connected to Lindsay's count) and it is a Hawk Moth, it can be up to 7cms across.
Going for a look around the cams now. Elaine

Good morning folks. The Lake on cam 2 is looking spectacular this morning, a lovely shade of blue reflected from the sky.
On the Hatchery cam, it is showing, (or was when I looked at it 5 minutes ago) the top of the post. I presume there had been a bird, (Owl, Buzzard,Sparrow Hawk?) on the top, but had flown by the time I looked in.

good morning yorky we welcome anyone on this forum as long as the main discussions are about wildlife and what we see on the cameras we also add a few of our own little bits to the mix it is quite a friendly site and Mr and Mrs Farmer work so hard to keep this going for us. Please keep visiting I am sure we look forward to any imput you may have in any of the matters we are discussing at any time or any you want to tell us about. Sue. notts

re the horses left by the travellers. I can't believe they don.t leave water for their animals. How awful. As for the rspca they'll only get involved if a film crew are there. I'm so glad i'm in scotland where we have the excellent sspca. The rspca were caught wanting donations from up here. Cheek of them. One other point that the moderator might want to change for legal matters is the word pikey that appears further down. The pc brigade will pounce if they see that and i'd hate for there to be any bother. Its probably classed as racist. I have my own thoughts about travelling people. :-l. Ann, edinburgh.
