It’s a Greylag.

The farm yard goose is descended from them.

They’ll also mate with Canada Geese too.

The pink foots tend to be in large flocks on fields and are winter migrants

The deer have been getting closer and closer. Finally spotted two in the back yard today.

Just now on my front step.

Great to see these running around , saw a couple the other night.
Didn't see one last year near me thought something had wiped them out.

Obviously not , lovely things.

 

[Littlesue]

Not sure what it is but it looked nice and didn't mind me getting pretty close to him

They’re in a lot of trouble.

Gardens have become too sterile, slug pellets and getting run over amongst other things.

Thirty years ago when I worked nights, I used to have to make multiple stops in the spring / summer, to pick them up and move them off the perimeter road around Sefton park.

Haven’t seen an alive one for years now.

Little Egret.

A migrant, that’s settled and now spread nearly everywhere.

Like a small white heron.

I know the weathers nice but give it a few more weeks before you mow the grass. Certain wildlife are struggling at the moment. And with more and more people deciding to get artificial grass in their gardens, it’s compounding the issue.

Think I've seen one in my life. That was in the front garden of my house few years back,

There's plenty of them just down the road from you where I am.

A year or 2 ago could see 5 or 6 easily per night .
But none last year , feared the worst tbh.

Next door built a Hedgehog station in his back and put feed out for them , 3 or 4 every night using it .Rats started appearing so he binned it.


But great to see them back & flourishing here.
