| Episode 8 | 22/03/2021 | Brisker 25 Directory |
Following on from the Wildlife Roundup episodes ….. taken around the town of Sandwich and surrounding walks from July of 2020 to where we are today … some l feel you will know all too well, whilst others have not yet been displayed in either previous Briskers or Morning Musings – thanks for reading – see you next time.
Squizzles, Ducks, Robins and Woolly Jumpers too!!!
Those wooly hooligans are keeping their eyes on ewe😉🤪🤣
I like the quackers🦆, but the songbirds are so sweet🐦and of course, the squizzels🐿 are so cute! Adorable even if they are rodents. We have ground squizzels here, and without natural predators, they cause a great deal of damage. A local park had to be shut down, and the squizzels poisoned💔
Humans…🙄🤦🏼♀️😡
Hey Grandma, what squizzles do you have near you?
Do you have the prairie dogs, greys or maybe the chipmunks?
They’re called California Ground Squirrels
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_ground_squirrel
Ah I know these squirrels … l should have listed them, over here they are sometimes referred to as Ground Marmots – but they are a nice squirrel that tames up very well .. but like Pdogs, they are incredibly destructive.
I hate that they had to be poisoned, but they completely destabilized a public park. Several people got hurt when the ground gave way underfoot.
Yes l don’t like that they had to be poisoned either – we had the same over here but with prarie dogs in a wildlife park, what they did was capture them and with that they perhaps caught 600, they then transferred half to other parks and sold the other half to people like myself who then found more suitable homes for them.
The park in question thankfully didn’t experience injuries on humans, but ground gave way for other animal species.
Aww, the wooly jumpers are adorable.
Yeah, except when they are running at you with menace in their eyes hahaha 🙂
Haha! You can run faster😂
Not with a dodgy knee l can’t which is why l am always wary these days … sadly the sheep can outrun me 🙂
You should carry biscuits in your pocket, like Gary does. They are pacified by food. 😎
Oh are they. The problem with that is that then they look to you for food. The living example here is that the photo here of the sheep running towards me was because it thought l had food because it was a hand reared lamb. When l spoke with the farmer, he said they would be my best friend if l treated them, but that’s when they might bleat and you are surrounded by sheep.
Now Gary has Captain Chaos with him on many of his walks l should imagine and sheep hate and fear dogs which is why many a time sheep’ll not come near to walkers with dogs.
Hmm… interesting point. I’ve never been chased by sheep.
Well there we go Sadje, hahaha, that’ll be a tale when it does happen 🙂
I hope never! I don’t run because I don’t want to fall on my face! 😅
Absolutely, and that could easily happen where these sheep are especially as the ground is hilly and sloped …. that’s an accident waiting to happen 🙂
I do see now! Better stay on the other side of the fence. 🐑🐏
Precisely … there’s adventure then there is catastrophic …..
Yup! 🤩
Hi Rory! Happy Wednesday!
Hey Saania Happy Wednesday to you too – how are you keeping? 🙂
Thank you! I’ve been well, how are you doing Rory?
Hey Saania, glad to hear you are doing well 🙂
