ng across the main road like this one did albeit unsuccessfully then you d think more people would notice as it is there is someone in bedfordshire now who is trying to explain that they got the dent in their car from crashing into a kangaroo last night posted in road casualties tagged bedfordshire roadkill wallaby 7 comments on the importance of habitat or a woburn safari october 7 2012 by badger watching man i count myself fortunate to have witnessed the re establishment of red kites in this part of bedfordshire i saw the first one here only a few years ago and it was a real event for me now while not exactly abundant they are more common there have been times over the summer when i ve watched a kite from the comfort of my sofa through the french windows however we ve recently discovered a spot not too far away where you can see the red kites almost on demand it s only in one small localised area and it s a great example of how habitat and food availability shapes the distribution of a species i ll explain we ve recently got a season ticket for woburn safari park it s on our doorstep they offer a good deal on an annual toddler pass and scarlett is old enough now to appreciate the animals and the indoor play area it means i can go with scarlett to the library on a saturday morning and drive home through the safari park just for the fun of it the carnivore enclosure is always a favourite with bears wolves tigers lions and red kites yes the kites seem to have taken up residence here on my last visit there were three of them circling and swooping low over the park why do they gather at this spot and not anywhere else in the vicinity here s a clue the wolf has just picked up its breakfast the animals in this part of the park are fed on meat it s the carnivore enclosure red kites are carrion feeders obviously the wolves and bears and lions leave enough scraps for the kites to feed on they ve found a regular source of food and are making the most of it hence we ve got a concentration of them in this small area whilst my house which is no distance at all away for a kite gets relatively few it seems a bit odd to have to go to a safari park to see a wild bird but it shows that nature finds a way and it has helped me to get my best picture of a red kite so far i did have to take it through the car window though getting out for a closer view wasn t really an option posted in birds tagged red kite woburn safari park wolf leave a comment a quick catch up on events september 2 2012 by badger watching man just a few quick notes to show that i m still here and i haven t been killed off by bovine tb or a virulent disease caught from a dead animal by the roadside but another month has gone by and what s the closest i ve got to a badger that s right the nearest i ve been to a badger is my shaving brush and even that isn t very close arguably the finest shaving brushes are made from badger hair but mine isn t it didn t seem right somehow anyhow suffice it to say that i haven t been near badgers lately actually this isn t strictly true there s been a couple of road casualties one of which i had to move off the road this was an adult female in the spot that i saw a live badger in february last year the other was in the usual spot for road casualties around here the big wood where there have been most of the deaths there must be a very substantial sett in this wood to sustain this number of road casualties over the years what else has happened i got an unexpected parcel through the door the other day it was a book urban mammals a concise guide by david wembridge it s published by the people s trust for endangered species and it s a great book a thoughtful and informed look at the common and not so common urban species from foxes to bats why did it come through my door well it wasn t entirely unexpected to be honest i was contacted by the trust a few months ago who had found this blog and asked me if they could use some of my pictures in the book of course i was happy to help a worthwhile charity they used the pictures and in return they sent me a copy of the book i m very grateful and it is a very good book what else there have been a lot of buzzards flying over the house lately i hear them mewing as i sit in our living room one day i looked out to see what looked at first sight to be a seagull but on second glance seemed to be a very pale almost white buzzard it had drifted out of sight by the time i d dashed in and returned with the camera there were reports of a white buzzard in the area a while ago so perhaps this was it what else on the subject of birds i took scarlett to the lake at woburn to feed the ducks today there s a family of black swans in residence that are interesting to see black swans are introductions from australia which fits with them being on an estate lake and given all the other species the dukes of bedford have introduced the rspb website says they rarely breed in the uk but these ones obviously have done anyhow after throwing in bread for a good five minutes i looked to the side and there was a heron perched on a tree quite oblivious to us there s a lesson to me to be more observant next time i ll be back soon there s a whole bunch of correspondence i need to catch up on too so bear with me posted in background birds road casualties 1 comment fieldnotes 30th june 2012 good news from the sett june 30 2012 by badger watching man a professional case of great gravity was engaging my own attention at the time sir arthur conan doyle a case of identity well i m back i ve been neglecting my badgers again lately i can t believe i haven t been to see them since april partly this has been due to a demanding schedule at work in the last couple of months my work has taken me from the heat of saudi arabia to the cool opulence of a boardroom by the lakeside in zurich and the offices of the united nations in vienna it s been good work and nice to see the world but it s also good to take time to reflect every now and then partly it s been due to an even more demanding two and a half year old daughter who is now old enough to prefer playing with her toys to being taken out into fields and who is also quite capable of saying so throw in mrs bwm s shift schedule and holidays and social events and there has been no time to get out to the woods but tonight i had a free evening so it was time for a long overdue trip to the badgers the day had been sunny and warm but with a threat of rain i don t get to pick and choose the days of my visits at the moment so i picked up my now repaired umbrella and was off to refresh the memory the main sett i watch has had a bit of decline over the past couple of years going from at least twelve badgers down to just three but on my last trip i saw a new cub so it looked like the numbers were increasing again would there be more cubs to be seen this time the sett is in it s full summer undergrowth so it is impossible to see all of it there were signs of activity fresh spoil and discarded bedding at the west end where i saw the cub so that s where i sat but there was also a lot of fresh spoil at the east end so it looked like multiple holes are in occupation i arrived at 7 45pm and settled down and at 8 20 the first badger emerged from the west end joined quickly by two more one adult and two cubs this was good news as it meant the cub i saw back in april has a brother or sister things are looking better for the clan the three badgers did all the proper badger things scratching grooming play fighting and collecting bedding despite watching badgers for some years now i still enjoy watching a relaxed family group like this at 8 30 the sound of whickering drew my attention to the east end there by the new spoil heap were one two three four badgers two adults and two cubs this was even better news they were too distant for photos in the dim light but clear enough through binoculars the badgers at the west end disappeared underground and shortly afterwards i counted seven badgers at the east end i m inclined to believe that this was the west end badgers joining the social group having made their way their by some devious underground route i know the west end holes are linked to the centre holes of the sett the tunnels may well go further it was a fine display of badger behaviour with all seven snuffling and playing and scratching i crept down from my tree and stalked over for a closer look but it was still impossible to get decent photos i watched for half an hour until the rain finally started and then headed home all in all a good visit there are at least four cubs this year which makes the clan stronger and more stable hopefully a good sign for the future interestingly the cubs are clearly from two separate litters and more interestingly the mother of one litter has obviously separated herself to the outlying west end but without and sign of being distant from the rest of the clan fine badger watching and another aspect of badger behaviour for me to ponder posted in fieldnotes tagged badgers 2 comments tortoises and dung beetles holiday in turkey again june 1 2012 by badger watching man the landscape on adakoy at the end of may last year i was off on holiday wandering around turkey looking for wild tortoises well we re creatures of habit here in the bwm household so guess what i ve been doing the same thing this year we ve spent the last couple of weeks in turkey again in a place called adakoy near marmaris it s a fantastic place mountains and pine woods sweeping down to the sea and all pretty unspoilt still our hotel was on a small island about five miles across which apart from a few other houses was entirely deserted i doubt if many people have ever walked for fun across the island but the craggy rocks steep hills and pine trees were crying out to be explored once again i found tortoises lots of tortoises i came across a dozen or so on an afternoon s walk they re still odd things to come across in the wild but i m getting more used to them now wild turkish tortoise on a slightly more scary note i also came across a snake crossing one of the rocky paths black in colour and at least three feet long i was too slow to take a picture and at the time i had no desire to plunge into the undergrowth after it looking it up on the internet later it seems to have been a type of whip snake impressive but not venomous here s an interesting creature which was quite common the dung beetle dung beetles you see i didn t lose my fascination with poo just because i was on holiday this is the scarab of egyptian mythology the kheper hieroglyph the dung beetle builds itself a round ball of dung which it then pushes into a hole in the ground and into which it lays its eggs the larvae hatch and feed on the dung to the egyptians it symbolised life and the sun was sometimes thought to be pushed across the sky by a huge dung beetle they were fascinating to watch particularly since they seemed to have no scruples about stealing the dung ball off another beetle the hills were home to a variety of birds buzzards were common soaring on the thermals as were a group of ravens raven in turkey the whole landscape was very interesting whenever i go on holiday i m amazed that so few people ever set foot outside their hotel or off the road i had a great time and got to see a whole new part of the world anyway i m back in bedfordshire now and catching up on work correspondence and general chores the weather has obviously been good here because everything in the garden seems to have grown by a couple of feet after all my travels lately it s good to settle down for a long weekend posted in diary post tagged adakoy dung beetle marmaris raven scarab tortoise turkey 2 comments new chickens may 7 2012 by badger watching man i ve spent the long weekend at home with scarlett catching up on stuff and playing in the garden between downpours one short note for the diary is that we ve got some new additions to the bwm household four of them in fact four new chickens to replace mabel and henrietta who were taken by a fox last year they re magpie hens i don t know much about the breed i let scarlett choose them except that they re a sussex hybrid suitable for our free range run and they lay 240 or so brown eggs a year with clarissa still laying that works out at about 20 eggs a week good job friends and family like eggs incidentally we ve had no other fox trouble lately a few days after us and the neighbours lost our chickens a fox was killed on the road nearby maybe coincidence but we ve not been bothered since all i need to do now is find names for our new girls posted in diary post tagged chickens 2 comments

better excuse than usual this time i ve been out of the country for work i ve just come back from a trip to saudi arabia where i went with a small team of business psychologists to assess the senior executives of one of their big companies which is the sort of thing i do for living it s been hard work but worth it it s an interesting place the people are incredibly friendly and hospitable but the climate is a bit harsh i ve been basking in temperatures of 40 degrees during the day and 30 degrees at night when you walked out of an air conditioned building it felt like opening the door of the oven and now i m home to a very soggy and flooded bedfordshire the ditches are overflowing the fields have standing water and my road was a stream when i arrived home sweet home enough excuses more
