Just spotted the first baby goats(kids) of the year on the rocks above Black Gate. Earlier than last year I think.

We went for a walk round Penrhos Coastal Park on Anglesey this afternoon and literally had these little fellows eating out of our hands.

i was digging over my daughters garden, across from you, last spring and the robins were feasting off the worms taking  them back for the young ones. They did,nt have any fear of me they were at my feet all day long. i was keeping the small worms on one side and throwing them to them, they had a field day. I must admit i enjoyed it to

Lovely pictures of the robins, The Medz. 

I've got a fascinating book about robins which goes into a lot of detail about their life and behaviour:

"The Life of the Robin" by David Lack, 4th Edition, 1965, published by HF & G Witherby, London.

Some of the many Birds Of Prey at Bodafon Farm today.  I only popped in for a coffee on a walk but stayed there for ages!   I'm going back next week to see the rest of the birds and animals.
A nice coffee, friendly staff and lots to see, well worth a visit.

Yes, my husband found a sick owl in the garden and took it there. They were so knowledgeable, knew exactly what was wrong with it and brought it back to life.

I used to love seeing them when they took them to the Victoria Centre and Otis, the Little Owl was my favourite.  Yesterday he wasn't in his aviary but Mark said that he had been moved indoors so I'll look out for him when I go back again this week

Have a picture of my middle grandson when he was about 9 with Otis on his arm. He was thrilled to bits to be allowed to hold him. He's now 22, but I bet if he was offered a chance he'd take the same opportunity !
