By the looks of things a quick paddle seems to be regular event.<br /><br />Looking at the forecast it seems as though much of the rain is going to miss me again. It's amazing but it can pass about 15 miles north and south of here. The Lincolnshire Wolds seems to split the cloud formations. Fortunately it tends to send many thunder storms N and S as well.<br /><br />Have a great week Jan.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-3561479988130584912010-06-07T14:02:12.655+01:002010-06-07T14:02:12.655+01:00Hi John, I too loved the hog paddling through the ...Hi John, I too loved the hog paddling through the water pot and watched it a couple of times :)<br /><br />I received a letter telling me of the June count a while back (I have been a member of the RSPB for years) but I had completely forgotten about it so thanks for a very timely reminder!<br /><br />Not much rain at all here and thankfully no thunder and lightening but it is a lot cooler today and rain is expected later this afternoon. Like you, we do need it but I too would prefer it was during the night :)ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-63444532793965419392010-06-07T12:17:56.517+01:002010-06-07T12:17:56.517+01:00Hi Shirl.

I don't know whether the RSPB count was mentioned on the SpringWatch programmes as I watch them on line a few days later but the RSPB didn't give me much notice.<br /><br />Each hog only spends 5 or 10 minutes at the feeder so it would be easy to miss them. I can see your nest watching will take up a lot of your time. I know I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off it.<br /><br />It is getting darker here so I think we are in for some more rain soon. The water level in my pond is well down so I could do with quite a bit more - preferably over night.<br /><br />Have a great week.

I missed this one completely. <br /><br />I always love to see the hedgehog visits to your garden. Not looking at my outdoor cams in the evenings at the moment as all focus is on the nestbox. Guessing some hogs will pass by as droppings are seen occasionally. <br /><br />Oh dear, we just got a couple of much needed showers of heavy rain. The garden was definitely needing it as you say :-)Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-34124333233741515472010-06-06T12:46:47.414+01:002010-06-06T12:46:47.414+01:00Thank you Keith.

I only got an email from the RSPB two days before the event started - good job we have a whole week to pick a time.<br /><br />I have often seen wet patches next to the water pot but this is the first time the system managed to capture a hedgehog having a paddle.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-59027274987785447262010-06-06T10:09:23.657+01:002010-06-06T10:09:23.657+01:00Have to get my count in the garden sorted.
