Brilliant. Ive only ever seen one and that doesnt really count as it was very flat in the middle of the road (IoW too) 

These were very much alive 🤣🤣🤣

 

Saw some at Bembridge and then another lot at Fort Victoria. Both excellent places to stop with the van.

I know I am boasting but until about a year ago Reds were daily visitors to our garden.  Then they suddenly stopped.

One of the many advantages of living in Cumbria.

Not the best pic as taken at full zoom-in on my phone, this morning on the Oxford just after Brinklow heading towards Hawkesbury. 
Unsure which ninja turtle it is.

Been lucky to see a red squirrel in Essex a few weeks ago on one of the Islands with a drivable causeway. Saw several at Brownsea Island not too long ago.

Used to see  many Bullfinches as they nibbled through the almond blossom but rare now 😡 .  But whatever happened to the large numbers of greenfinches? Haven’t seen one for years now. 

we enjoy keeping a log, but don’t record numbers of wildlife, it’s enough remembering hours travelled working out lock numbers and miles daily 🤣

Terry Pin was in the same spot again today on the way back, just through Bridge 37 heading towards Brinklow.

Greenfinches have been particularly badly hit by Trichomonosis a parasitic disease which has killed many and can be spread through bird feeders not being disinfected often enough.

I thought this was a log on the Selby Canal until it started waving its flippers about 😀

I came across this dead one back in 2005.
