And now for some wildlife videos zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz



I know some people dislike grey squirrels and even call them nasty names such as tree rats but personally I find them interesting little critters. Check out the video below and watch how this squirrel digs out a well concealed acorn it had previously buried. There’s no denying that these are clever and resourceful animals.

The video above is of a badger I have been feeding. Over recent months it has ballooned in size and its girth could be considered enormous by badger standards. I guess that what happens when food is easy to come by, especially sausage rolls and peanuts which it cannot resist. Just in case anyone suspects I have used a special wide angled lens to make it look fatter than it actually is, I have included footage of a fox eating at the same place a few minutes after to put the size into context.

I appreciate all wildlife and the birds get a variety of seeds each week,however the world is now on the verge of another huge calamity as America and the UK are now preparing for an onslaught on Iran according to world latest reports.
Sod what Israel are demanding of the UK and USA,and how many of the Israeli supporters in the UK will get a plane and take part in the action.
Not bloody one,they enjoy spilling blood as long as its not there's,as history as shown.
Being thoroughly pissed off,its time the UK folk woke up from thir slumbers,and detesting Israel is not Anti Semitic as they make out to stop any critics of Israel.
The UK Israeli supporters should be thrown out of the UK and packed off to the deserts.So Israel is defying the world once more and about to build thousands of new homes on Palestinian land.
Stop buying Israeli products,and denounce their warmongering intentions,they are criminals who want UK and USA blood spilt while they sit counting their money.
Its off subject but its now becoming a huge threat to OUR WORLD

In Britain, numbers of native red squirrels have decreased dramatically in recent years, partly due to large numbers of grey squirrels being imported from America.

Hmmm, the native squirrel is threatened by a massive invasion of foreign squirrels. No comment!

Say no to Zionist aggresion said...

UK and U.S. 'draw up joint plan to attack Iran' Daily Mail.

Iran has an army of 200,000 suicide bombers, some armed with suitcase nukes. These fanatics will be unleashed upon any country which attacks Iran.

We have no quarrel with Iran, let's not get ourselves into another Zionist led bloodbath for the sake of the bandit state known as Israel.

The badger is a fine specimen and very well fed.

'Nationalist' is nothing more than a Labour troll trying to give right-wing politics a bad name.

After reading the comments on here - how hard would he have to try?

Mighty impressive badger, never seen one that size, could it be ill or pregnant?

Viticarb, expound your political phiosophy.

viticarb said...

More interested in local wildlife to be honest Jonesy.

Most threads on here seem to degenerate very quickly into rather unpleasant squabbling anyhow.

Have an interest in the local area and politics (which led me here) but suppose I have yet to come across a 'philosophy' or party that appeals enough to make me want to commit. It is usually the 'followers' that put me off.

However things change, and I like to keep an open mind.

What about yourself, care to share your 'philosophy'?

Have the birds come back yet?

Yes, I'm a nationalist. I want to preserve our national identity, heritage and culture and uphold the rights of the indigenous population and their majority status.

Agriotherium africanum said...

The badger may be a top predator but a Agriotherium africanum would have ate it for breakfast. It was the most powerfull mamal to have ever lived and it could chew a badger to pieces.
