If it were me the shot would have been taken through the tele-sight of a decent rifle!    :D

Shame on you Yorkie!

I always remember the ones you used to see at Gwydir Castle, Llanrwst, usually standing on one of the boundary walls or walking in the road hoping for titbits.

Yesterday morning, driving in to Llandudno just past the Little Orme a car coming the other way hit a female blackbird and didn't stop  $angry$  We turned round and picked her up still alive but not in a good way :( We took her to a vet in Craig y Don who put her to sleep, you can't save them all sadly. We seem to have more success with pigeons :)

It's always upsetting when anything like that happens but at least you know that you did everything you could possibly do, well done for that.

I had a walk on the Carneddau earlier today and saw a number of wild ponies on the mountains.

Yes, I remember those. Are they still around?

They're not exactly wild but weren't too happy when I hadn't got any food for them at Snugbury's Farm in Nantwich!

Talking yesterday to Sally Pidcock, Country Park Warden, I had some sad news about the black goat kid which was born on the Great Orme this year.  When the goat and its white twin were first born, the Wardens were sent a number of photos of the goats in which the mother could be identified by her ear tag.  The same nanny was later seen without any kids, so neither of them survived. 

The nanny has an ear tag as she is one of the control group which received a "dummy" treatment as part of the test of the contraceptive treatment which has been given to a proportion of the nannies as part of the herd management.
