I've been out and about picking blackberries too - they're really yummy! We badgers like a bit of something sweet every now and again, although I'm not so sure about the prickles. My sensitive nose gets quite a scratching!

Next time you go foraging, why not leave the spares out in the garden for a hungry badger to find? I don't even mind if they're squishy and grubby - any insects living on them is a bonus for me!

Wrenicca - lots of badgers are out and about at the moment so keep an eye out as it starts to get dark. We are busy making the most of the last of the summer foods while it's still warm and light, and lots of this year's youngsters are starting to roam about.

Birdfair was awesome! I had a special Birdfair spotting sheet that I took around with me and managed to tick everything off, including an osprey, a man with a beard and someone off the telly! I saw Chris Packham, Nick Baker and David Lindo the Urban Birder. I was too shy to say hello though...

I love your certificate idea, Swiftafa! Chris must have really liked it too to display it with his photos on his stand. Poo Expert - tee hee!

Did you know that the Wildlife Trusts' stand got some certificates of its own too? We won 'Best In Show' and 'Best Conservation' stand awards! I think the judges must have liked our garden shed cinema and cool games, not to mention all the free sweets and goodies...

Alright, maybe I was fibbing a bit about Scottish wildcats wearng kilts, but wouldn't that be cool? I think this guy would look great in a bit of tartan, what do you think?

You all sound like you've been getting out and about lots lately and doing fun activities. I'm really looking forward to Birdfair at the weekend - it will be the first time I've been for a trip away from my sett for ages! Come and say hello if you're going and make sure you have a go at some of the amazing games and competitions on The Wildlife Trusts' stand!

Hee hee - you guys are awesome!

I love your quiz, Buzzyades, and thank you for writing to me lots. I think I would answer mostly C's, but I do spend time indoors to write my blog!

Hedgeina's dolphin pictures are amazing too. I bet you were really excited to see them. I know I would be! You're all spotting lots of butterflies, bees, hornets and foxes, and asking lots of interesting wildlife questions too.

Why is a Scottish Wildcat not called a European Wildcat, Foxonis? I think it's because they have a different accent to their European cousins and wear teeny tiny kilts when no one's looking.

I like peacock butterflies too, Sealoles. They're very pretty. And it sounds like Buzzyades will see lots of really exotic types when visiting the butterfly park. I'd love to go to one, escpecially if I could see a chrysalis hatching!

Swiftafa is off to BirdFair later this month too - sometimes even I go there! It's a great place to meet lots of other wildlife enthusiasts and have a go at cool nature activities. I've done pond dipping there before and watched how scientists put special rings on birds to help find out more about them, just like this song thrush I saw.

Perhaps I'll sneak along again this year!

    Hi Badger, Yesterday me, my mum, my dad and my brother went to Paddington, London on the train, we had to take to connections to get there and it took about 3 and a half hours to get to Paddington Station. Once we were at the station we walked through Hyde Park to the Natural History and the Science museums and they were fantastic, we really needed more time in them but we didn't have much time!! Of course in the natural history museum I had to go to the bird section. It was really good. Also in the history museum there was an escape butterfly from the butterfly house so everyone was taking pictures of it! After that we went to the Science museum and there were lots of interactive things to do, which was also fantastic. We had a great time and to top it all off through I saw two Egyptian Geese at Hyde Park in the Princess Diana's Memorial. (Which I have never seen before) We got on the train back home and we didn't get back 'till 11:10pm!!! PHEW!! What a day!! London is really scary, its so busy you could easily get lost but luckily are route was quite straight.
