Hello, Happy Saturday.
Well, I'm having an interesting weekend. I was sitting at my desk this afternoon and I saw a Japanese badger trot past the window. They look a bit like European badgers, but smaller with light brown hair. This one looked very healthy, hair blowing in the wind like a shampoo commercial.
A few minutes ago Susy started to put her head out the cat door than jumped back in making a horrible yowling sound. I grabbed the torch to take a look and saw a tanuki sitting on the deck. Oh no! How did that get in the enclosure?
I've opened the gate for him. Hopefully he'll find his way out and not decide to dig a tunnel under the fence, or whatever it is tanuki do.
So, what kind of wildlife to you get in your area?
As well as tanuki and the recently spotted blonde badgers we get deer, rabbits, hare, squirrels, wild boar, Asian black bears, pole cats, civet cats, hawks, crows, loads of song birds, snakes, lizards, frogs and toads.
OK, better go check on this tanuki now.
