Tracks

I know who left these footprints in the snow






 I feed them every day and here they are -





But, I don't know who left these?


 Badger?  Five toed cat?  I think they were two big for a cat.

They certainly were not left by this cheeky character  -


It's not only the birds that like sultanas. He/she comes out to join in the feast.

Possibly the best fed vole in england. 


:o)

    1. Hello Kath, I'm glad that our little visitors are voles and not rats. The feeders are quite close to the house and I don't want to give rats any ideas about coming inside. Of course we have no idea who visits during the night. :o)

    1. Hello Anne, It's a vole. They've taken up residence below one of the bird feeders. :O)

  5. We'd love a night vision camera to view overnight visitors,but once we know who is visiting,would we want to go outside?
