Welcome to everyday Lets Talk

Thanks for the info TB
WS

Its an absolutely cracking day here in Wales, we have wall to wall , if it carries on like this we'll have to start rubbing Amber Solair into the Donkys skins
WS

Same here with the weather - it's wonderful , just seen the forecast for the weekend and it should reach 21 on Sunday, summer already. Only problem is the bluebells are suffering and looking like they need rain, but you can't have everything!

Glad you had a good weekend Doogs, and well done with the racing, at least you were up.

Have a good afternoon/evening everyone.

Safari Maiden wrote:Lovely location TB. You have glorious scenery and countryside. I think I say a male adder last year at Stanwick Lakes. It was on the path basking and as we approached all I could see was a black flash disappearing into the thick grass. We were unable to find it.

Are there any animals/reptiles etc that you know are in an area but have not seen?

SM

I know we have Polecats in the area as I've found road kills,but finding a live one is proving difficult,they being nocturnal.We also have an otter on the burn that runs by our village,found the foot prints and the spraints,but not seen one of those either.

TB that would be brilliant if you could spot them. I assume it would be more difficult to see polecats this time of year as the nights are lighter compared to winter, or is that too logical?

I love otters, it think they are fascinating. Always have you camera ready, just in case.

We are supposed to have munk jack close to us, but I have not seen one.

Keep us posted.

I have a Polecat that lives next door TB, she is called sandy and she lives with two Ferrets called Trouble and Pickle. I am sure I have posted their pics in the pet section

Most Polecat/ferrets are hybrids as the wild pole cat is too small and keep vanishing.When I was learning my falconry,my job was in charge of the ferrets when hawking.We tried polecat ones once,but they were a bit too rabbit colooured and a Harris Hawk killed one of them,expensive mistake that was.

Not a nice mistake TB. Can't blame the Harris Hawk but sad for the Ferret, they are lovely animals. The three that live next door are so friendly and just love a cuddle but yes, these are not wild Ferrets or Polecats, not sure if a wild one would be as friendly and easy to handle.

Apparently wild polecats leave a musty scent not unlike a skunk,been getting a few funny looks from neighbours when I'm sniffing gate posts and other prominent spots they might scent mark!!

I bet you do TB. The three next door also have a distinctive smell, it is a musky smell and not a horrible overpowering one as lots of people think but my cats definiately know when I have been giving one or all three of them a cuddle. They are all due for a bath so I am sure they will not smell as strong as they are at the moment.

Just back from a walk to the beach,saw a lovely Brown Hare,not quite an easter bunny but all the more special,happy easter all.

The weather's been great today after yesterday when it was cloudy all day, and cold. Been driving around the coast in the Add/ Mobile with Mrs S. There's loads of holiday makers, and it's really good to see them all enjoying themselves in the sea, and on the beach. Not enough room on the beach's we visited for a Hare TB
WS

Glad you had a lovely day TB and got to see a Brown Hare, wonderful to see one as they are very special and to see one on Easter Day is brilliant.

Glad you got to enjoy the day with Mrs S WS. I imagine in beautiful Wales the beaches were packed. Lots of people out and about here today too. I have had a lovely family day with the whole family. We spent the whole day in the garden with the kids dive bombing in the spa and soaking everyone and having races on their scooters, it was definiately watch your toes Had loads of laughs, eaten lots and got some lovely eggs.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

Belated Happy Easter everyone.

Glad you've all had a good time. We had a fun day with friends coming over in the afternoon, far too much to eat and a lot of sitting in the What could be better?

Today we've woken up to mist but hopefully it will burn off.

Have a great day.
