34 goats in St George's Churchyard on Church Walks earlier this morning - they were doing a nice job of 'pruning' some of the shrubs, but no doubt some would be unhappy about them eating floral tributes in the Memorial Garden area.

Oh dear, my elderly neighbour (93) keeps that tidy-- she will be spitting !

My poor hedgehog was killed the other day on the road, don't know how ever it managed to get out of the garden, but it obviously did.

Sorry to hear about your hedgehog, Nemesis, that's really sad.

[Nemesis]

Thanks Blodyn.

 :(very sorry to hear that Nemisis, I know how we can get attatched to these little friends, like I have with pigeons

I was sitting in the sunlounge looking over the back garden when I noticed two crows that were looking for nesting material.   There was a lot of hair left after grooming the dog so I put a load in the garden and it soon went so now I have to keep topping it up as other birds have started to use the cuttings too.
It's a nice feeling to know that the bird's will has a nice cosy nest again.

Hugo, they'll get fleas!

At least you can't say that the Crow's nest won't be up to scratch Paddy and as a bonus they won't have to wait for the " 7 year itch"

Plenty of birdlife at Rhos this morning--Turnstones, Ring necked Plovers and Dunlin on the rocks.

These photos were taken yesterday at Penrhyn Bay.

Superb pictures... they look very happy and carefree!

[Blodyn]

What lovely pictures, Hugo.  I never seem to be in the right place at the right time to see seals, so thank you for posting these.

Hugo mentioned under the Gardening thread that he'd seen some peacock butterflies in his garden.  I've just seen one on the Great Orme. 

The Butterfly Conservation website has a handy tool for identifying butterflies:

Just before I cut my lawn for the first time this year, I found this little fellow sunbathing on the lawn!    I moved him to next door where they have a pond so he was out of harms way.

Looks a bit too small for a decent meal, but no doubt he'll grow!     L0L
