The not so welcome visitor...

The garden has been busy over the last few days. The Goldfinches are calling in large groups, enjoying the new feeder and the feeder I have moved over to the shed.

We have however had a visitor that is not altogether welcome, although it did make for some interesting photographs.

The Rat appeared from under the fence opposite the shed, ran up the grassy slope to the bread I had put out for the birds, grabbed a piece, then flew back down and under the fence disappearing into the garden beyond. The rat continued to do this over and over again.

It was a bit of a wuss, if there were any birds about it would turn tail and run straight back under the fence. It even ran and hid when a tiny blue Tit flew near it.

A woodpigeon took a lot of interest in the rat, it would sit at the top of the concrete wash post watching the rat run for the food. It seemed mesmerised by it.
Hopefully it will not stay around too long, I will not be putting any food out on the ground until either the rat moves on or the rat is caught, whichever happens first.

Tooth update,
I had to return to the dentist again today because another tooth broke in half. I am becoming quiet worried now about the amount of teeth I am loosing!


Until the next time...
