Spiders and Jellyfish

Now is the time when the badger cubs can be expected to be exploring the big wide world but as yet we continue to be visited by the loan adult male. He's perfectly relaxed, slowly munching the peanuts, unperturbed by the neighbourhood cats strolling past. He's even quite happy to lie on his back and do a touch of grooming. Once in a while he is joined by a mate but that seems to be quite rare these days.

With the warmer weather more developments in nature are afoot. The conservatory windows have become a nursery for balls of baby spiders.

In Poole Harbour, along the shore at Harbourside and Baiter Parks there were four Barrel Jellyfish washed up on the beach. It's only a guess that they are the Barrel Jellyfish as these have recently been sighted in the harbour again, and the ones found were a good size in diameter.
