Wildlife

I'd forgotten there was so much wildlife here. Tafs and I spotted an urban fox the other day. I bet they hate the changeover from plastic bags to plastic bins.
Up at Pops house in the summer, a bat flew into our bedroom.
In Formby last week, we saw 5 RED squirrels. They were busy storing nuts up for winter. They are a lot cuter than their grey rellies. We've also seen badgers, but unfortunately only as road kill. There are a lot of birds. Pigeons are everywhere and give me the creeps (dunno why). We have heaps of magpies in our street and they make an amazing noise.
We had a plague of crane flies (daddy-long-legs) this year and poor Taf had to spend ages catching them before I'd go to bed.

I'd love to see a fox in real life because, unlike those fox-hunting toffs, I think they're beautiful and deserve to be left alone.
