Tux Vs. Hedgehog.

He's such a goof, lol.

Fowl behaviour in the sunshine at Drumpellier Country Park on the outskirts of Glasgow. I love the one goose which is looking straight at the camera, while all around it is mayhem. And apologies for the pun at the start of the post!

Saw some dinosaurs on this morning's walkabout along the Weber River. Mourning dove in a tree. Young swallow in its nest. Two swallows on a rock. A robin on the ground. #Birbs #Birds #Birding #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #UrbanWildlife #Wildlife

Early morning bees enjoying the unscottishly warm weather today in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow.

“I’m WALKIN’ heah!”

Here's an alligator lizard from our patio. I wish the stick hadn't been in the way, but I didn't want to disturb my beautiful little friend.

Some people are startled by them because they look so much like a snake -- but I'm happy to see one because they eat snugs and snails.

There's two of them by the entrance to the shelter, but one is hiding a bit better They do seem to like the special food I got for them

been spending some magical mornings with a colony of martins

I put some hedgehog food on the steps and inside the shelter, to hopefully show them it's safe for them in there. They haven't gone inside yet but the big hedgehog is happily munching away on the steps. And practicing his jumps, lol.

I was sitting a few feet away at this time, and must have been visible to them, but they didn't seem to mind :)

Apparently the bats also discovered it's easy to swoop in and scoop up the insects that got "trapped" under our skylight during the day. Note to self; maybe don't sit out there at night

The bats are out in force again this evening. They got so close I could hear their wings flapping

This poor little chaffinch flew into my window and needed some time to recuperate. I kept an eye on him and he flew away after a while. He was back at the bird feeder not too long after that so I'm sure he's ok.

Then I went to the store and bought even MORE anti collision stickers because the ones I already put on that window clearly aren't enough

Bike lane closed due to goose traffic jam

Are you kidding me?? I was (quite obsessively) checking the camera earlier and I started remote recording because OMG there's two hedgehogs! And then this happened! (Looks like they weren't even impressed, lol)

Gatekeeper of the Wild
A lone #heron perched like a sentinel at the edge of the woods
Unbothered by iron spikes, it stares with quiet power
Not trapped. Not tamed.
A feathered rebel watching the world go by.
