Yes, it was great for a while, as long as we kept putting the peanuts & grapes out. Until we went on holiday (and didn't feed them) and then came back to find our garden totally trashed. They still pass through the garden but we don't feed them anymore.

Amazing photos from @Sheps, your water vole photo is stunning, I’d love to see one let alone photograph one! Also, I love @LunarSea gorgeous photo of the badgers, how wonderful to see them so close.
I was walking around our local lake this morning and turned round to see this beautiful rainbow and cygnet. Our local pair of swans have raised 9 cygnets this year and it’s fascinating to watch them as they do their flying practise, all 9 flying in a line up and down the lake 😊
I don't want to post my crappy photos now I spent the weekend floating around in a boat and on Sunday night it was a really high tide so these were my neighbours. Bear in mind it was pitch black so I couldn't see them but the sound was incredible. This is a long exposure.
Then on Monday morning I stuck my head out just as it got light and most of the birds had gone but a flock of Cattle Egrets had arrived over night. At first I only saw this group of four but they were perched all over the place. There was even one on the bow of my boat and I didn't even notice until it flew off. I'd say there was at least 40 of them. There's 14 in the last photo if you can spot them all. Again the camera makes it look like daylight but it was still pretty dark.
More to follow but I have work to catch up on now
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
