Stoke Climsland

Spot felt that the blog was becoming too biological and asked for some of his favourite views to be included. All that is missing from this Spring view is the trail of litter up the hill. Some people locally express the view that litter bins do not belong in the country side, unfortunately litter louts do. And then someone wants to reduce rubbish collections to once a fortnight. How about employing someone to pick it all up?

Goodnight Spot.

a sad story from Cornwall

Jackson (aka Toby) was the runt of our litter. Rejected at first by his mum, he was hand fed. He was Harriet's best litter mate.


(below is a photo of him at 7 weeks)










He might have gone to St Cleer and lived happily ever after but he went to Looe. Sadly his owners must sell up and leave their home and they cannot keep him, leaving Leslie in tears. He is a very happy, lively but gentle soul and dearly needs a new owner who will love and cherish him. Can you help? If so contact Spot.

yellowhammer

continuing the generally yellow theme, I saw this male yellowhammer on our morning walk today. They are very easy to see at this time of year.

buzzard

three buzzards in the wood today, showing off and generally fooling around. The female seems to choose a high tree and wait for the males to disport themselves. No clouds though.

catkins

and completing today's yellow theme, pussy willow emerging.
