One Hedgehog feeding under a broken plant pot, small water dish to the right is empty, they also have a larger one which they something bathe in.

2 snuffling between planters, took some finding, couldn't see them for several minutes.

040126 Millennium Fields #York #yorkbirding #wildlifephotography #uknaturelovers #ukbirding #ukbirds #northyorksbirding #OMSystem Huge flock of Siskin today & 1st time I've seen them ground feeding here. No Redpoll but lots of Blue & Great tits, 2 flying Cormorants

Pale green cylindrical egg with vertical ridges, changes colour as the caterpillar develops. There were visits from 8 females and at least 100 eggs laid. The most larvae I found was 24 and I rescued 10 to raise inside. Found no pupae on the Alder Buckthorn

Mr B was the last of 7 males to eclose and along with 2 females safley flew away. Sadly one female's wings did not inflate.

Detail of the browm spot on the wings.

Head, shoulders, eye and antennae in close up

Tiny birds with, as the name says, long tails. Chest is pale, tail dark, eye is red around the black pupil

Pale chest more clearly visible as is the brown of the left side of the head

All fluffed up, pale chest, brown side of head leading down over the shoulder

Looking up, pale chest, red eye . Gregarious little birds, fast flying, often found, as these were, with Blue Tits
