Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A couple of Cinnabar moths caught my eye this morning. Apparently common, I can't recall seeing them before. They are very distinctive with their crimson wings.

Lovely idea for a thread!
We've left part of the lawn wild to encourage butterfly & moths and was great sitting out there on Sunday seeing more than I have in the garden for years. Still not that many , but more!

Regrettably we don't get any badgers and not seen foxes for a while, but the hedgehogs are back again this year. I've resisted the urge to check both hedgehog houses so far this year.
Did have 3 in the garden earlier in the year but only seen two together recently.

There was a wasp bike in the bird box on the side of our shed. They’ve all left, so I investigated it. Amazing thing.

Cool. We had one last year in the we'd. Accidentally disturbed it with the strimmer. I didn't hang about long!

We went on holiday, then when we came home a badger had destroyed it.

We chose to leave it. Badger chose a snack.

We noticed a wasps nest on the fence by the side of our house on just this Wednesday gone. We can't believe we hadn't spotted it before, although it is quite camouflaged. It's a beautiful thing.

Doh! Writing the above has made me realise which wood they scraped to make the nest 😆 Obvious, isn’t it!
