I made a candle at 2AM coz ADHD. Currently sitting in the garden enjoying the cooler air after the first rain in forever. Light up my candle, pleased with how it’s burning (tea lights have required fortresses even on windless evenings to stay lit)
Goddamn moth just kamikazied straight into the hot wax…I’m feeling responsible for this dumb buggers poor life choices. And now I have the serenity busting snap, crackle and pop to look forward to, once it makes its way to the flame. I feel guilty about stepping on snails, even though they are courgette devouring scum. And I like moths, they cool af. This is not helping.

Update: we’ve had a snap! Thank you for your kind words, there are plenty more in my kitchen, I should feel responsible. I guess this is how Jurassic Park starts…kinda

Big Ron (sorry, predictable) is still scampering about. Usually too fast to catch on camera. This was not more than 3ft from a sleeping dog. Brave.

Can any scat experts tell me which animal has visited and left us this present? Just curious, I guess a fox. It's roughly cat/small-dog poop sized. No dogs have visited us. Thanks!

I'm curious about this lad who showed up in my bro's pond (Midlands, UK). I didn't know we had any snakes in Britain that were comfortable living in water. Who is he?

I kind of cant believe I own the tech to do this. Fun eh?
I dont know if this was a brave one or if it has slowly got used to me being around but i got closer than normal.

What deer are these deer. They come daily outside our house.

Busy night in our garden! 🦇 They come back every night from around April to September. Any tips to make them happier or more welcome?

So glad I found this sub!

Another nocturnal visitor tonight. I’ve put out a plant pot plate of water. Our garden is sealed so I’m not sure how i got in or how it’ll get out.

Planning with my neighbours right now to put in hedgehog doors between gardens.
