Grey tree rat at the bottom of my garden on Thursday. My airshow lens is back-focussing again, which is a bit of a pain.

Some action from last night. There is one hedgehog that looks like it has lots of white on its spines. I'm assuming this is from self anointing and not someone marking it with paint?

Fitting in with todayβs bird of the day theme, which is Bird Butts, my photo shows a siskin perched on a twiggy branch in a cherry tree with its backside towards the camera. The tree trunk runs down the left side with the branches coming in from the bottom, the bird is on the bottom third. The branches has new spring leaves emerging and the background is defocused orange and yellows.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social is #BirdButt, birds showing off the rear end to the photographer. Iβve gone with a #Siskin
