brotherly love

road rage

Killed by contingency, run over today on this quietest of quiet country lanes, by someone on the school run or going to the hairdressers, or the golf club, or the pub. Tail degloved. It is ironic that you have banned hunting and yet continue to mow down tens of thousands of small mammals and birds on the roads. Vermin, of course. Like badgers. Wipe them all out and return the country side to cattle and maize as it should be, in acres of grass desert. And keep the speed limits at 60 mph.

more mysterious fungi

why is it so difficult to identify these organisms? Found in mixed deciduous and conifer woods by side of path, probably growing on dead wood.

cornish vultures

Harriet

Harriet needs more food, and was cross that she wasn't allowed to eat the caterpillar. 

she caterpillars

...it has been rather dull recently apart from not very windy ex Hurricane Gordon passing us by and blowing a few caterpillars out of the trees. I am not sure which species this handsome chap belongs to; on reflection I suppose it could be a female, do caterpillars have a sexual orientation, and how would you tell?
