The Dining Club

by Russell Turner - 20:38 on 24 July 2019

Wildlife continues to make the most of the free food left out overnight, whatever the weather. Last night, despite thunder, lightning and torrential rain, the badger came by as usual. The egg, which s/he spurns, was gone by the morning so either dietary choices have expanded or, more likely, the fox or someone else sneaked it away without triggering the Bushnell.

Brock was also there the night before but provided no snaps worth saving; Reynard left one decent portrait. Also captured was Pandora who, like Willow, makes regular inspections of the dining area, no doubt attracted by the scents left behind by wild visitors.

We’ve still had no more multi-species meal times – at least, not any captured on camera – but I live in hope.
