A swan, a red kite and a green shield bug.
Uk wildlife! All taken very close to home.
Do feral cats count? We've been working wition. She's a real bird killer so she needs to set up shop somewhere without all the birds we draw to our yard. View attachment 298093
And 2 very wary doves stopping for a bite. View attachment 298094
First time I heard LD (as in LD50) testing mentioned here. Neat.
Found this fellow washed up in the beach after a storm. I picked it up with some driftwood and released it in the waves:
BLEH
Shield bugs are so disgusting though lol

Looking for a lift? What sort is it?
I've been looking out for Australian wildlife. Never bothered before and now when I am, it's all vanished.
Thank you, sounds like a good idea. I did try putting a vase of flowers in the doorway (what I had on hand) but I imagine that is not the same.If that ever happens again try to cut a shrub or small tree branch with leaves. Put it in and open doorway or window. They will recognize the familiar perch and will usually land on it or approach and see outside where there are more and exit.
Domesticated and feral cats are driving some species of song bird to extinction. It's actually a pretty serious problem.Ya...my cat gets more than id like. But I suspect its not a huge dent in population lol
My in-laws put UV stickers in their windows. That helped a lot.I think it so crazy when birds run into stuff. Ive seen them fly into side of our house and just wonder....what the lol
