Everyone will spy this one......Robin, he's trying to build up the courage to brave the gang of sparrow thugs that descend on any bird that alights on 'their' bird table. We used to have such a huge variety of birds but the sparrows have taken over. To think, we were so pleased, a few years ago, to see just one sparrow, thinking they were dwindling in numbers. Now they have taken over the garden and bullied all the other birds away.
Rodents - we have a few burrowing rats about the place

Out of touch -
On the O day I saw odonata too, and would love to see more oriels - summer visitors oft heard, rarely seen
On the P day I saw a flock of pigeons, fortunately in the forest opposite.
On the Q day I saw quite a few Queen hornets (European and Asian) I'm happy to have wasps and hornets in the garden as they are munchers of cabbage white butterfly caterpillars.
Today I spied Red admirals, Robins and black Redstarts and would like to see more Red squirrels.

As I write I'm spying a squirrel (grey) digging holes in our newly seeded lawn, BAH!
Sparrows (the thugs) having a very communal bath and whilst I can't see the Wiltshire equivalent of Veggie's slugs and snails, I'm sure they're there.
Quite honestly, much of the wildlife I'm spying, I wish wasn't there.
Like SC we've had the sparrowhawk sitting on the bird table looking for a hot meal during the summer.
