I know, I know, it's serious.

Outside geckos, the big pale one is a moorish gecko (once you pop, you can’t stop), the little darker one is a Mediterranean house gecko

Vampire deer again at lunchtime yesterday

First frog of the year. Disturbed it when I was ripping up some outdoor storage, relocated it to a hole in the wall. Fingers crossed it’s happy with its new home.

oof, that's great!

Damn, that’s a nice shot

^ and ^^ I was v lucky - I was walking along a shaded bridle path (used to be the road from here to Aylesbury) and I saw it lolloping towards me. I stood still and it continued until it was only a few metres away where it stopped to pose for about 5 seconds in a little patch of evening sunshine. It then continued on its way.

Can anyone help with an ID?

That's Peter.

Ah, maybe just common frog?

Bunch of leaves mate

I think so, yes.

A pigeon has built a nest in the wisteria next to my back door.
I don't want it to think it can live there if it's not paying rent.
I don't want to turf it out if it's likely to have eggs in there (whenever I look, the pigeon is sat in there so I haven't ascertained if it has eggs). Is this vaguely likely (it's not Spring)?
Can I turf it out or will it be mean of me?
Am I a bastard neighbour?

Bouncy deer this morning
