We recently saw an adult badger in our garden, much to our delight! We hadn’t seen one a very long time (last time: Garden views). I wasn’t able to take a photo of the badger because of the poor light (it was night) and I didn’t want to scare the badger away with flash photography. The badger was munching away at the food the neighbour had left for the fox family and as we were watching him we could see two little fox cubs peering through the hedge looking at the badger. They didn’t have the courage to chase the badger away.
In the morning we heard a commotion as the feral pigeons kept flying away from the big breakfast I put out for them. We soon saw the reason for the noise:
The fox cubs were chasing the pigeons away and proceeded to eat the peanuts and seed that I had put out for the pigeons. Cheeky little things!! 
With the sun shining so warmly lately the pigeons have been enjoying a bath in the garden and a good sunbathing session too.
The feral pigeons often search the ground for things to eat but as you can see the grass is too long for comfort so I mowed the lawn to let the pigeons peck at the ground with ease.
Halfway there!
While the ferals are mostly on the ground in my garden the woodpigeons like to forage in the trees and bushes. They are quite dexterous for such large birds. You’d think they wouldd have trouble standing on the thin branches but these woodies know how to get to the best bits of the plants without much trouble.
Hello being lazy i am going to ask question – could have looked it up i suppose But are wood pigeons linked to ferals – not quite sure of terms to use.
That wood pigeon is stunning
Hi Ara, wood pigeons are a different species to ferals. They are in the same family (Columbidae) but they eat different things (more berries and grass seeds) and nest and live in different areas (mainly in trees). I love woodpigeons. They are very large and chunky.
