  Hi, I've seen loads of signs of autumn lately!!! The tree in our garden has started to turn a yellow colour and the horse chestnut trees near where I live have really big conkers on!!! At our allotment there's an oak tree and there's some really big, green acorns on it. I might plant some when they fall of the tree. I love autumn!!! We sometimes get bats when it's a warm evening but we've not had any for a while, we have a bat box but I don't think any bats have gone in it yet, I love it when they do come to my garden, bats are so cool!!!

  hey, our garden seems to come alive at night with foxes, hedgehogs and occasional pipistrelle bat! it was great spotting .the bat .i put food out for hedgehog and he lets me go right up to him and put the food down by. his nose.! then he scuttles off into the bushes and the fox comes along and eats the food. the garden is pretty quiet in the daytime. anyone else had a bat flying around?

  Hi, a couple of day ago we went on a walk and as we were picking a few blackberries, we saw an orange thing in a field close to us, as we looked through the binoculars we saw that it was a Roe Deer!!!

  hey . last night i spotted a hedgehog out on the lawn so i put some hedgehog food in a dish i got from the birdfair and took it out . i was so pleased the hedgehog actually let me get close to him --about 6 inches-- and put the food down by him . i thought he was going to curl up into a ball but he turned round and shot off into the bushes. i put the food where he`d gone and went back into the flat. later i saw the young fox sniffing around and then he spotted the hedgehog nosh by the bushes , sniffed it and ate it!. has anyone noticed how quiet birds are at the moment? guess its due to the breeding season now over and migration underway .

  hi forgot to mention --on the train going to the birdfair i saw 2 foxes playing in a field, chasing each other. last night a young fox was outside the window and a cat was on the grass. the fox was sniffing around the grass and came a bit too near the cat who lashed out and the fox leapt back a few feet . he continued to sniff and snuffle and went into the bushes but came out faster and shot off round the corner! wonder what was in the bushes that scared him! i `ve got some hedgehog food from the birdfair so only need to see the hedgehog now.

  hi , on august 14th my friends and i went to the wildlife roadshow at sandwell valley and had a great afternoon, there were stands and variuos wildlife groups and plenty of activities . i held a beautiful orange coral snake and it was brilliant . there were slow worms and grass snakes to see but not to handle as these were wild and were to be released later on .there were owls and moths to see and some great guided walks. great day all round! last sat i went to the british birdwatching fair at rutland water andhad a fatastic day! . i met jonny kingdom again and also nick baker again and nick found a beautiful bug in the marquee he was selling his bug book in and it was in a bug box. i held it but could not see it so nick took the grass out and showed me the bug which was called a dor beetle. part of the dung beetle family. the beetle was beautiful and its colours were a metallic blue , purple and gold. i`d never seen a dor beetle before and it was great that nick had actually found this one in the marquee. i won a prize on the wildlife explorers stand which i was thrilled as i hardly ever win anything. i got some bird wristbands from the BTO stand, somes pens from other stands and a peice of heather off the speyside wildlife stand . and munched some gorgeous shortbread. . the highlight was watching the ospreys on one stand --9 chicks had hatched this year and all ready to fledge. it has been a good year for rutland ospreys. i`d gone to the fair on my own as\my friend dropped out but theres so much to and do and great \people to meet that i didnt mind . i had abrilliant day and can!t wait now for next year`s fair it gets bigger every year. plenty to see in the marquees and the birdwatching centre. its great watching bird ringing. next sat i`m going to a bug day at rspb sandwell so should be fun . its free so if you want somewhere to go why not come? starts at 10am til 4pm., sandwell show is on sunday and monday --another great free event! 10 til 6pm.
