Peeps,there is a new article posted in the ARTICLES section - from POSITIVE NEWS - Joy in the animal world - worth reading.
Everyone - we are now officially in Autumn so that means "Autumnwatch". Begins tonight on BBC at 8pm. Don't miss it! 
I heard the dawn chorus while in the wildlife observation hide of MTVCA in the woodland garden at 4.10 am. Can't describe what seemed like the most wonderful choir of all the song birds in the UK! Exhilerating and absolutely a wonderful, delightful and magical experience! 
I saw a grey squirrel today when attending to my beehives in No. 5 garden. It was on the tree opposite my hives. Wonderful to see animal rationale in action first hand! He wanted food so looked for the nearest bird feeder. He held on with his left paw and turned around the bird feeder to 'see in'. Disappointingly there was nothing so he scampered up the tree. Clever boy!
