I have been off line for a couple of days as some rogue had got into my system, but with the help of my friends I silenced and destroyed the path into my set-up. It was costly in time but the animals carried on as usual, in fact there is three outside my window enjoying their supper.

Missing for a couple of days

Hedgehogs return
Several months ago our neighbour tidied up his garden with a rota-scythe and killed off a couple of hedgehogs and the rest ran away. I have pleasure in announcing the return.
Welcomed by the foxes who treat them as friends. One kept his distance but the other joined the foxes at the dinner table. A very welcome sight indeed.

My foxey friends
I am shortly to celebrate my 86 birthday and having friends like these visit me every night makes me feel younger. Often when I put the food out they are waiting outside my bedroom window. I talk to them and they just look at me and carry on.
This one looking at the camera when it arrived I said 'hello where have you been and it looked at me and gave me a little grunt 'hello'. I open the window now and it doesn't seem to bother them.
This is the one I said hello to and as you can see it tucked into its supper just 1metre away from me.
I love my foxey friends.

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.
