Wildlife in the garden - at any time of year

[Dog Star]

This was on the ground near our hedge line... after a dose of gusting wind. The nest space is about 2" in diameter and the cone depression is about 2" deep. The nest is lined with moss, feathers and hair from our Golden Retriever. My guess is that the nest was built by a Robin although there have been no Robins in our garden this year.



Robin or something else?

Thank you, corrected.

Last couple of weeks we’ve had our usual visitors:



A couple of different foxes do their circuit and pass through the garden, sometimes in pairs. this chap was wandering solo at about 8am one morning.

Then we have our nighttime visitors:



This chap usually wanders through about 9:30/10:00pm. Haven’t seen the cubs yet - might be too early, I honestly don’t know.

Generally neither set of visitor causes much trouble - the squirrels are far more destructive on the lawn!

Cheers,

Stephen

not too worried about the foxes and badgers, but I'd be a bit wary of the albino lion

Evidently found his way into the garden via a fox burrow…..!
