Well, I have finally seen a glimpse of the mouse that lives under the shed. Having put a rabbit treat in front of his entry hole and waiting to one side in the growing darkness last night, he popped his twitchy nose out, grabbed the treat and retreated to safety. I must look up wild mice to see if he is likely to be a particular type of mouse.
Today's bird watching walk at lunchtime was successful. We saw Linnets, Great Tits, Buzzard, Mallards, Swallows and a Yellow Wagtail among other things. I was particularly excited about the Linnets and Yellow Wagtail - even more so now that I have seen on the RSPB website that these birds have a Red status so are likely to be rarely seen.
We also saw a 6 spot Ladybird, a couple of Bumblebees (Buff Tailed Bumblebees from what I can tell from the information on the Bumblebee Conservation Trust's website) and a White Butterfly which was too far away to really see what it was.
I must do more research so I can be more confident when identifying what I see but it's so hard to remember everything! I guess it must get easier the more often you see and identify things but there seems to be so much to remember!!!
