New friend
This young for which I named Junior has been visiting my garden for around 2years. He came first time with his parents. They don't come anymore so he came by himself for a while and then brought a yong fox along for a few weeks. He then made friends with a hedgehog, that lasted several months until the hedgehog disappeared and now he seems to be having a relationship with a cat. I wonder how long this will last.

About Me
- Mike Attwood
- Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
Oh,,, I think the cat lives dangerous right now...
ReplyDeleteThe strange thing is Lasse, the cat never moved and was still there when the fox left. He then had a sniff round to see if the fox had left anything.
DeleteHi Mike
ReplyDeleteI had this moment in the morning with a fox and a wild cat, the cat walked past the fox and the fox was afraid and stayed away at a distance, such observations are pure nature
Greetings Frank
I know what you mean Frank, I would do the same. I've had dealings with wild cats. Stay safe. Mike.
