Found a very dozy pair of Wood Mice on the outskirts of Bath today. Picked one up briefly to check for the rarer Yellow-necked Mouse, which has a complete yellow band across the neck. This one only had a small patch, so definitely a Wood Mouse. I returned it to its bed and its friend after examining it.

Consider the Rattle

In a state that still hosts grisly “rattlesnake roundups,” human Texans should learn to see something of themselves in their ancient, slithering kin.

After the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl’s Reactor Four, many presumed the land would be biologically dead for generations. “The pine forests closest to the plant absorbed such intense radiation that their needles turned an orange-red and died, creating what became known as the Red Forest,” author Katie Stacey writes. Today, some truly weird wildlife are getting by, if not thriving. Read more from @sciencefocus:

Aerial Stare

This red‑tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) passed nearby but high overhead. I wanted to catch a shot at the maximum focal length of my setup, but there just wasn’t enough time. The challenge with long focal lengths is that the closer they bring the subject, the narrower the field of view becomes—so actually finding and locking onto a flying bird gets a lot harder.

So this image was taken at the minimum focal length of my rig, 280mm. It’s not quite as crisp as I like, but honestly, it’s hard to complain when a hawk is staring straight back at you.

"A red‑tailed hawk soars overhead, its wings stretched to their full, commanding span against a clear, endless blue sky. The bird is captured from below, giving the impression that you’re standing directly beneath it as it glides effortlessly on open air. Sunlight pours across its underside, revealing the intricate pattern of pale feathers streaked with warm browns and soft golds. Its broad wings form a shallow V, each primary feather splayed like the fingers of an open hand. The hawk’s tail fans out behind it in a glowing wash of reddish‑orange—the unmistakable signature of its species—lit so brightly it seems almost translucent. What makes the moment electric is the hawk’s gaze. Its head is angled downward, and its sharp, amber‑dark eyes appear to lock directly onto the viewer, as if it has paused mid‑flight to study whoever stands below. The expression is intense, assessing, utterly self‑possessed—the look of a predator who misses nothing. The background is nothing but sky, a clean, uninterrupted canvas that makes the hawk’s form feel even more powerful and solitary. It’s a portrait of mastery in motion: a raptor suspended in light, wings wide, eyes fixed, owning the air." - Microsoft Copilot

Wild roe deer in my local forest. The female was right next to me and only sensed me, but didn't run away. It looked like the males were fighting, but not seriously.

I stopped to check a photo, when I noticed that a silhouette to the left of me looked just like a fallow deer. Lo and behold.

A scenic view of two giraffes on a grassy hillside at Port Lympne Reserve in Kent, England. Both giraffes, with their distinctive orange and white patchwork coats, face away from the camera, standing gracefully against the backdrop of the rolling countryside. The landscape stretches into the distance, featuring lush green hills, clusters of trees, and open fields under a soft, overcast sky.

A fluffy, brown duckling with a yellow face and black beak stands in shallow water at the edge of the shore, looking down towards the water and the edge of the brown shoreline with an orange leaf visible. The duckling is near the edge of the muddy water. The water is a pale blue color.

And THEN... one of our local squirrels (Molty Muldoon) decided to check the owl out... BE CAREFUL!
