Posted several lots of pics of wildlife in our garden here in Surrey.
Here's some more!
You can tell the pheasant shooting season's started -as soon as the guns start, they all come & hide in our garden.

One of the many young Squirrels who call in for lunch. We often have 4 or 5 at a time.

Baby Bluetits a few weeks ago, demanding to be fed, even though the food's just a few inches from them. The parents work so hard, non stop all day, to keep them fed. They've had 2 or 3 clutches of eggs this year.

Yeah, we know the paving slabs are wonky, but we can't fix 'em -that's where the Mice & Voles live.

Tanya smokes but I don't, so she spends a lot of time sat at the patio table. This is her mate, the female blackbird, who often joins her. When she was feeding babies, she'd cram as many yellow fat pellets as she could in her mouth before flying back to the nest -made her look like she had a big cartoon grin.  |

Look very, very closely & you might make out the SparrowHawk in the middle of this shot, (bright yellow feet). It sits in the oak trees at the far end of the garden, waiting for unwary birds. I'm sure it thinks we provide a feathered lunch for it, in the same way we provide fat snax for the little ones. Young Starlings seem to be it's favourite.

A slightly bigger winged visitor. This is one of our neighbours, Paul, in his power glider/microlight thingy. He often buzzes over the garden on Summer evenings & sometimes calls on his mobile to say I can see your house from up here.
