Badgering


Well after hassling Andrew for much of this evening trying to find out the password to get on the blog (it hasn't changed but my memory is comparable to a blind goldfish).  Then I badgered him some more because I couldn't remember the email address either :-)

Any how, I'm here now and can give a summary of my wanderings at Center Parcs at Longleat.  This has become something of an annual event that takes place during the Glasto weekend (all that mud and wee isnt for me).

This time around family numbers have been swelled with the sister in law having twins (three under 3, now).  Rather her than me.  Plus brother in law and parents in law plus wife plus me.  Yes it was a bit like an episode of The Waltons.

In between swimming, eating and drinking I did manage to get out and about in the forest.

Here are some of the critters I managed to get.


This cheeky young lady was sat on the roof of our lodge



The best pic of a Jay I have managed (not that its something too shout about...)

 I wandered deep into the forest and promptly got lost.  I actually walked by our lodge twice! But they all look the bloody same.  Of course wandering around in the dark with a big lens could lead to arrest... Please note that I do know these people...



Peanuts were a favourite along with coleslaw  




The pond next to the lodge was limited to Mallards and Moorhens



He flew in for just a moment


Thousands of 'em


A Chiff-Chaff I believe


 Looked nice in the sun

2 visitors on the last night :-)

Sadly I didnt get a Muntjac but seeing the badgers so close was great.  I love badgering...
