Hissing badger

The badger(s) are coming around 22:00 these days but our sightings have only been sporadic. I stumbled across one the other night whilst coming in the back door, and was within two feet when it took a couple of steps forward, hissed loudly and then bolted down the side of the playhouse. We were both a little startled.

In other news, the Goldfinches are regulars on the front bird feeders but have rejected those in the back garden and are not using one feeder, perhaps because it bears more of a resemblance to a bird maximum security prison than a delightful seed feeder. Here's hoping the Siskins make a return as well. And then a few Common Tern sightings whilst out paddling-boarding last week. The distinctive cry made me look up, my balance went and it was all downhill from there.
