This little rascal lives at the bottom of my garden nothing will grow just here, but i have some 2 1/2in down pipe for wild life to go in, dont very often see him never mind take a photo of him, but this morning i put some wildflower seed down to see if they would grow, but this little one was so cheeky he came out the downpipe and just rooted for the seed i had sown, think i’ll have to get some more seeds and sow in a tray, then plant them next time.

Probably thought "If the birds can have some,so can I ! " You did well to photo him Clarice :)

Aster he was not frightened at all this time, he was there a good 30mins, just rooting and no matter how close i got to him he just carried on with what he was doing, normaly if i see him he moves so quick. :o)))

He is a little cutie, Clarice. Great that you were able to take so many photos without him running off.

10 Apr, 2010

 

Gee he was'nt frightened at all.

10 Apr, 2010

 

Oh he`s so cute, how nice that you managed to get a photo of him. :o)

10 Apr, 2010

 

Think he was to busy eating the wild flower seeds i'd just put in.

10 Apr, 2010

 

Oh Carol, I think this is amazing. Lucky you, he's gorgeous and so nice that your down pipe especially put there for the wildlife has worked.

10 Apr, 2010

 

Oh Clarice...this is lovely.Why dont you try putting a few seeds or sunflower seeds down just for him.That way he will not have to dig for the others ! We have them in our old stone wall and have been feeding them peanuts regularly.As a reward they have left our bulbs alone !!

Have you still got your wee stray cat BB?

10 Apr, 2010

 

Aye Skillen...she comes into the porch first thing for breakfast...goodness knows where she goes then until teatime but always waiting by door at 5 ! Then she wanders around the garden for a while and disappears again ! Think we were had ..lol

10 Apr, 2010

Thanks ....

Great set of photos Carol. I have a couple of Fieldmice visit my garden - unfortunately part of their '5 a day' includes the growing tips of my Hemerocallis ! Fair trade off I guess ... lol :-)

13 Apr, 2010

 

Thanks MW :o))

14 Apr, 2010

 

Great photos Clarice! Kipper my cat, who I love dearly, is a devil when it comes to mice (and birds for that matter). I was enjoying watching a little family of fieldmice rooting about in my yard but unfortunately .... well I think you can guess what happened:o(

If Smokey my cat was alot younger and was a well cat, this little one would not be living in my garden.

15 Apr, 2010

 

Sorry to hear Smokey is not a well cat, Clarice.

15 Apr, 2010

 

He's been a very poorly cat for along time, he as kidney failure and bowel cancer. I keep putting blogs and photos on my home page as quite a few on GOY are keeping up on how he is doing as he his at vets every 3-4wks.

15 Apr, 2010

 

Oh bless him Clarice! It's awful when they get older and in poor Smokey's case poorly. My other cat, Holly, who I have had for 13 years (and was told by the RSPCA that she was at least 6 or 8 then) is a bit arthritic but not too bad considering she might be 19 or 21. I will keep an eye out for your blogs and wish you and Smokey all the best...xx

Thankyou, Smokey if still with us will be 18 on 23rd of this month, i've had him since he was 6wks old and i know his birthday because he was born next door to where i once lived, and folks said he should have been called George as he was born on st georges day.
