Don't get me started on foxes! I have had 2 wild ducks nesting recently in our garden and both times the nests have been raided and all eggs taken.Crafty fox waits for a full nest of eggs, 13+ Unfortunately the last raid cost mother duck her life, earlier this week.Waiting to see whether the 1st duck escaped (distinctive colouring, so we'd know her) I know it's all part of nature but why just kill her and leave her in our garden. I could accept it better if the fox had taken her for food. |

Not of badger cubs Christine LOL If they eat slugs, I might leave the gate to the garden open for them; they could feast every night. The sett must be on the embankment somewhere, although I've no idea how far they travel looking for food. I think I'll have to do some reading. We have seen an adult badger around before but seeing the cubs was a bit special. We'll be keeping an eye open for them now. Gwynneth - That's such a shame. As you say, killing for the sake of it seems particularly cruel. Even though I was brought up in a small village (as it was then) and our house was surrounded by fields, I had to wait until I moved to Bristol to hear a fox barking. The first night in this house, I was woken by something that sounded like a goose honking and wondered what the heck it was: an eeerie sound They used to use the tiny front lawn we had then to 'hang out' and chat their 'women' up. Luckily they moved on the next season. Perhaps I should have provided kebabs and beer. LOL Mags xx |

Mags from Bristol, didnt anybody warn you to keep off the Hokonui moonshine? We no longer have eagles in NZ, havent for many a long year. What you saw were probably (almost certainly) the Australian Harrier. Plenty of those that eat road kill. The NZ eagle was a HHHUUUGGGEEE bird going by the fossil bones that have been found. |
