Snuffle snuffle

Check out this video everyone.

It was filmed by Devon Wildlife Trust at the edge of a nature reserve near Exeter. It's a big swirling cloud of hundreds of starlings. They're flocking together in a tight ball just before they go down to roost.

Isn't it amazing how they all change direction together and form those cool shapes? Getting out to see things like this is worth getting cold for.

C-c-c-crikey, it's p-pretty c-c-c-cold. Brrr!

I'm glad I prepared my bedding in advance so that I don't have to go outside too often. The snow sticks to my fur.

I am getting a bit hungry though. Now where did I bury that sandwich?

Snuffle snuffle

Wow Swiftafa - a peregrine! I would love to see one! They're so fast and deadly. I've heard they're starting to live in our towns and cities again so maybe they'll be a common sight soon.

I have seen some redwings and fieldfares though. They're all tucking into apples in an old orchard near my sett. I like to go there sometimes and munch on the fallen fruit, but the birds don't like me much. They make a terrible racket when they see me coming!

I had a look at your rabbit, Barnyifa. So cute! Make sure you give him a cuddle from me.

Snuffle snuffle

I have been on the perfect adventure for badgers - a Fungal Foray! I got to use my well-trained nose to snuffle about in the undergrowth (one of my favourite pass times) but this time to help science.

I followed a group of fungi experts who were collecting all kinds of mushroom and mould so that they could identify them and find out what was living in the wood. I rooted up lots of different types - have a look at my basket!

Some fungi can be poisonous of course, so I didn't eat any. I did get to eat lots of other things instead - minibeasts live in the leaf litter too!

Thanks Beebeeelas and everyone for the tips - here it is! What do you think? I have to confess that I did get a little bit of help from my friends in the Wildlife Watch gang...

And well done Swanita for completing the fun run on Halloween and helping to raise money for The Wildlife Trusts. I hope you had a good day. Did you dress up as anything? All my trick-or-treat goodies got eaten up, but mainly by my other badger friends. No humans came to my sett for them for some reason...

    I used to have hedge hogs in my garden every night but recently they have not been around, on the bright side I saw a bat in October in a nearby field.

    Hi everyone, today I went on a walk on some heather moorland and along the walk there were signs telling you about wildlife that had been seen on the moors before. One of the birds was a Red Grouse. To our surprise, as we were walking at the edge of the heather, we saw two fly out!! It was really good because I had never seen one before. We also saw some Gorse.
