Welcome!

Crazy about wildlife! That's me.
I've created this blog to keep a record of the amazing encounters I've had with wildlife and to share my experiences.
I hope to upload photos of the great things I see around Wales and the world and recommend some brilliant wildlife-watching spots.
I hope you enjoy.

The cutest little creatures ever!

Yes, dormice!

Today I've been on a dormouse course with NWWT. This afternoon we went to Bontuchel woods to have a look in some of the dormouse boxes there. We were very lucky to see four dormice, in two different boxes. I didn't get a great look at the first but I saw it's fluffy tail. The second scarpered up a tree but not before we could get a great look at it - then it sat a few metres above our heads in the tree for ages. Brill! The last two dormice were probably a mother and almost fully grown son in a box together. I'll never forget the cuteness of the female as we put her back through the hole into the nest box, with her bum and tail hanging out for ages!
