Google says tailless squirrels are quite common and that it's almost definitely due to an attack by a predator. I'm not so sure about that. Both cats and squirrels usually have tails. But not all of them. I have met some cats without a tail. And they was definitely not due to an attack by a predator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelle_Svansl%C3%B6s |

Well my mystery bud has flowered ![]() And indeed it seems to be a rhododendron. While you can find lots of images of the flower, images of the buds are harder to find. |

Google says tailless squirrels are quite common and that it's almost definitely due to an attack by a predator. I have not met cats from Isle of Man. However in Scandinavia there are plenty of cats without tails At least I think so having met two of them here. |

Lovely pic. A warning though. If you go to Russia, don't drink anything that smells like Hawthorn. |

I was over on Facebook and one video Daily flicks and picks had about 20 hummingbird feeders and about 30 or so hummingbirds at one time. I never seen that many before at one time. |

Seen a Killdeer today, the first one in about 20 years, growing up we had fields of them everywhere. I went back looking at those hummingbirds again, I can't believe so many of them. |

I think I will post a few pics here now. The weather has been quite good for the last few days. My dad has several bird feeders he used to keep full of seed, unfortunately he is no longer able to do it, so I have taken over. I however have taken to also distributing a few handfuls of suet pellets, this has caused me to become popular with the local bird community. Most mornings I have a varied selection of the local avians waiting. This pic is not very high quality, I had to take it quickly ![]() It looks like the ducks are laughing, just quacking loudly, the herring gull has that "haughty look" and you can just seen the pheasant to the left. Staying on an animal theme, I went to the fort yesterday evening and whist on the top I happen to see movement down in the grass. ![]() Young rabbits. Possibly this years. I took this yesterday, a local pleasure boat the Ramblin' Rose passing Hurst Castle. ![]() I think this is my favourite from the last few days, Taken from the end of Yarmouth pier looking west down the Solent, you can just see Hurst Castle and lighthouse. ![]() Finally with the bank holiday weekend this week more and more boats arrive in the harbour. This one caught my eye today. ![]() The Karenann a Swift Trawler 34, I foolishly looked it up on the internet to see how much something like that cost, there are 3 for sale in the UK. Prices start at £144,000 ($184,000) to £270,00 ($346,000), That of course is before you fill the 800 gallon fuel tank and pay the port charges!! |
