    Oh that is absolutely wonderful to hear @Kiki23, thank you SO much for updating. They've every chance of really thriving now thanks to you, your friend, and your neighbours - these animal rescuers and fosterers do an amazing job too! I'm very relived, it's just heartwarming 💕.

    Thanks so much @Kiki23 . Oh my goodness how lovely they all are. The mother, looking on wide-eyed/watchful of her babies, with concern in her eyes, is just so sweet. I hope the little ones' eye infection heals quickly. Thank you for taking the time to share these photos of them. Very precious.

    Thank you for posting these pictures Wozza, all though my heart does feel a tad sad to think that some of them dont have loving homes to go back home too 😒

    That's not what the mice and rabbits say about him. 🐇 🐁

    This is my new favourite hot sauce at the moment, I love putting it on chicken wings while they're cooking, and when it mixes with the chicken juices in the baking dish I like to mix sweetcorn into it, and then once everything is done I'll pour some of the sweetcorn/chicken juices/hot sauce mixture over some chips.

    Oh wow @Ross1975 that's a blast from the past! That sauce was always on my dads dinner table when I visited him when he lived in Miami and he kept buying it when he moved to Argentina. Such a lovely sauce, a decent heat, but it also tastes of something. 😁

    Last summer I had a pigeon shock, the pair that were my regular visitors had been sneaking into my kitchen & had built a nest behind a trolley & box I had there. When I realised, it was too late & I had…

    By law, you can't destroy the nest & I wouldn't anyway, as I'm an animal lover. So I ended up having the delight of witnessing the hidden bit of feral pigeons. This is mum on the nest…

    I felt quite honoured they felt safe enough to nest there. So, for the first times in my life, I saw squabs grow…

    And last week, a kiddy ran up to me to say there was a pigeon that couldn't fly. I asked him to gently catch it. He did & I popped it in Hattie's dog bag, where it was quite happy. Got indoors & saw it was a racing pigeon. I looked up on the racing pigeon association how to report it. The owner contacted me an hour later, he was in Swansea & the pigeon had been released in Ramsgate. He was a tad surprised when he asked where I was & I said in Hampshire. The poor thing was very thin & only had a little water & some very crunched up cornflakes that I had to go buy. It was too late to try & get to town for birdfood & the racing site said they were ok. Anyway & this shocked me, he would drive down next day to pick it up. ♥️ He arrived & wasn't hopeful for the condition she was in, but had a fellow fancier that had all sorts of potions & he would see how it went. I asked him to let me know & off they went back to Swansea, apparently, her brother was waiting at home. 😍 He contacted me 5 days later to say thank you for rescuing her & reporting & that sadly, she had died. 😔 Here she is…

    The sad looking chap in the last photo has been taken in by my neighbour, so he's got a part time home and the others look healthy and well fed, so I'm sure they're being looked after by the locals 👍🏼

    I have plenty of squirrels in the garden, I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but they're nice to watch with all the antics.

    This discussion is filling me with so much joy right now. Thanks for sharing the lovely pics @Wozza I'm a big squirrel fan.

    @JessieJ that's such an amazing story, it's so so rare for people actually getting to see pigeons and their young, what a treat! Sorry to hear the rescue didn't have a happy ending, it's such a shame when we can't save them all.

    Here's a few more from earlier in the year @Albus_Scope

    I've never seen squirrels relaxing before, they're usually bouncing about and chasing each other .
