I am out of wildlife/nature shots, but here are a bunch of pictures of our cats. The calico with the black nose is Gatto, the calico with the pink nose is Chat, and the black cat is, well, Blackie. The tuxedo cat was our beloved Figaro, who passed on 2 years ago, but he was such a ham for the camera. Penny Chicago Chicago Chicago.

For the webcam viewers that have not seen the Badger Cubs as Pam, You wont see them until May to June depending on the weather. One year they showed themselves at the end of April. Last night performance was last years Cubs with a couple of Adults. There was also an Adult collecting grass to take back to the Sett for bedding.

As Jill I am surprised that not more than one pair of Geese nest on the Lake. Every year more than one pair attempt, but the dominant pair always chase all the others away. Some years we have had a pair of Swans attempt to settle, but the Geese even manage to chase them away. Swans would manage to protect their Signets better that the Geese with their Gosling. Swans will attack threats not like the Geese who make a lot of noise when fleeing.

My School had a very big Lake that Swans nested on. The Swans would use the School playing fields that led down to the Lake to eat the grass and rest out on. One year I tried to be cleaver and get as close as I could to the Swan and their Signets. They all started to get back into the Lake. I continued to be cleaver, or so I thought until one of the Adult Swans turned on me. I turned to run but the Swan caught up to me. The pecks didn’t hurt, but the flapping wings around my backside was a pain I have never forgotten.

We received an email and photograph from one Kyes Brothers Owners yesterday. Whispers owners have asked if we hear from any other of Kyes Brothers and Sister. We don’t other than Darcy, so if any other owners read this, let us know how they are getting on. Whisper is having a great life. Having walks on a beach in Cornwall most days. As Kye and Darcy he loves mud.

The first three were taken last winter, one day when it was snowing heavily. The tree with legs is my husband carrying our Christmas tree out of the tree farm where we cut it down ourselves. The other three are pictures of the Mississippi River taken from Frontenac State Park in Minnesota last fall. The river is all iced over now, except for a few places where the eagles still can fish, mostly by the dams. Penny Chicago Chicago chicago

Rustlers warned stolen sheep may be poisonous.

Sent in by Elsie.

RUSTLERS who butchered four pregnant sheep in a field were last night warned the meat could pose a health hazard.

The thieves left a bloody scene and the bodies of four unborn lambs at the field on the outskirts of Staindrop, near Barnard Castle, County Durham.

Police believe the sheep will be sold on the black market as meat, but have warned that the sheep had last week been given worming treatment, and the flesh contains potentially dangerous levels of worming chemicals that could cause illness if eaten.

Starlings in our Garden!!! Rose W’canton.

Thornton wasn’t best pleased with having the ear tag pierced into his ear. In fact he was quite put out, being very quite all night. Mind you I wouldn’t be best pleased if I had the tag pierced in to my ear. The piece that goes through the ear is quite large. Thornton has now got over the shock. As I am writing the Diary he is pushing his head into me leg trying to get my attention.

Farmers by law have for many years had to put ear tags in their animals ears so that they can be identified. Since BSE the information that the hold can identify all Farm animals in the European Union. There are hefty fines if you don’t tag you animals and you are also unable to sell or move animals without them being tagged. When sold or moved Ministry animals movement forms have to be filled in and carried with the animals. If you are stopped by the Police or Ministry when moving livestock and you have not got the movement forms you are liable for very hefty fines.

These were taken out of my dining room window. The hornets were bald faced hornets, and they abandon the nest after the first freeze. We are going to take down the nest and give it to the Nature Center . The tree is a crab apple, and there were 5 squirrels in it at one time. Penny, Chicago Chicago Chicago.

I spoke to Peter at the Lock earlier today. Peter tells me that SWT would like us to host a webcam from Montrose Basin. The webcam will be installed on a raft at the basin where we will be able to see various Waders as well as other breeding Sea Birds. Common and Grey Seals also visit the Basin that hopefully we will also be able to watch. I will let you know more about it when I know myself.
