Garden wildlife. The three cubs (1st photo) and their Mum (2nd photo) last night, and a couple of photos of one of the cubs taken a little earlier. 🧡🦊🦊🦊🦊 #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. Some phone photos of the vixen (the mother of the cubs) from this evening. All three cubs were around too, and were fed further down the garden. 🧡🦊 #londonwildlife

All three adults were visible at the same time on Quadrant House this morning in the then light rain. From left to right it's the older male, 2025 male and then the female. #londonbirds

Local birding. Some Feral Pigeons near Sutton Station this morning, before the wind and rain. #londonbirds

Sutton Peregrines. One of the male Peregrines (I think the older one) on a building near the High Street this morning, and being mobbed by a Carrion Crow. You can hear alarm calling, but the volume needs to be turned up quite high to do so. #londonbirds

Local birding. Feral Pigeons sheltering in a tree this morning at St Nicholas Church, Sutton. #londonbirds

Garden wildlife. The three Fox cubs this evening. 'White tip' is on the bench, and the other two are a bit further back in the garden. 🧡🦊🦊🦊 #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. 3 different Zoropsis spinimanas found yesterday/last night. The 1st was rescued from a neighbour's waste bin. The 2nd was on one of my bins near the front door (outside) and was relocated onto the shed. Finally, the 3rd was inside the shed window. @britishspiders.bsky.social

Garden wildlife. The vixen last night, and one of the cubs, 'white tip', this morning! All 3 cubs were present last night too.🧡🦊🦊 #londonwildife

Garden wildlife. All three Fox cubs this evening. Firstly 'white tip' near the house - fortunately, it's now walking/running (and 'fighting') perfectly normally. Then another near the house while the other two (including 'white tip') were squabbling in the background. 🧡🦊🦊🦊

Local birding. One of two Coal Tits seen (and heard, which is what attracted me to them) while walking home from Sutton this morning. #londonbirds

Garden wildlife. A lovely Zoropsis spinimana found in my paper/card wheeled bin today. @britishspiders.bsky.social #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. The three Fox cubs last night. #londonwildlife🧡🦊🦊🦊

Garden wildlife. I think this is a final instar nymph of a Southern Green Shieldbug (Nezara viridula), though it was quite dark. Found in the garden waste bin today, and released back in the bushes! @bugmanjones.bsky.social #londonwildlfe.

Garden wildlife. Some Fox photos. First 'white tip' curled up in the garden yesterday afternoon, then the 3 cubs feeding and the vixen (Mum) last night (phone photo), and finally one of the cubs (not 'white tip') looking for food under the bird feeders this morning. 🧡🦊🦊🦊🦊

Sutton Peregrines. Both adult males were sitting quite close to each other this morning, the older one briefly leaving to engage with a couple of Crows but returning to the same spot on the corner. The 2025 male has quite a full crop too! #londonbirds

Garden wildlife. An Anyphaena numida found on the kitchen ceiling this morning. Very sprightly once caught, and even when in the pint glass it was photographed in it was able to scale the sides effortlessly. Released on the shed where there are others. @britishspiders.bsky.social #londonwildlife

@stephenmossauthor.bsky.social 's 'The Puffin: A Biography' is already on sale in @waterstones.bsky.social . There were three copies at the Sutton branch this morning, though there are now only two! I've had a quick browse already, and am looking forward to reading it properly.

Garden wildlife. A rather nice Lacewing on the back door last night. Probably, but not definitely, Common Green Lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea). I've always been fascinated by these! #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. Last night I found a Segestria florentina on the shed. I have around 25-30 here now, but so far they have all been on the house itself or on a fence close/parallel to the side of the house, 1.5/2m from it. This was about 5/6m away from the nearest fence one. #britishspiders

Garden wildlife. The vixen (the mother of the cubs) came to be fed quite early today at about 17.00. The cubs were a bit later as usual, and it was by then getting dark. 🧡🦊 #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. A few photos of one of the Fox cubs (white tip) last night. #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. A lovely Zoropsis spinimana on the shed last night. Possibly my favourite spider, and one I've seen fairly regularly here over the last few years. And a second one was inside the shed too - only underside views of that one, but they're quite distinctive! @britishspiders.bsky.social

Garden wildlife. 4 different Anyphaena numidas on the shed last night - there may have been more! @britishspiders.bsky.social #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. A not great photo of a Common Pipistrelle Bat from last night - it's an enlargement of a a screenshot taken from a phone video. I often see these, and occasionally Soprano Pipistrelles. #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. House Sparrows bathing earlier today - I'm not sure why they suddenly decide at some random time that it's bath time! #londonbirds

Garden wildlife. One of the Fox cubs (white tip) sleeping in the garden earlier today. It eventually got up and went to join a sibling sleeping in the garden next door, during which time its other sibling appeared but didn't stay. 🧡🦊🦊🦊 #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. A Harvestman (Odiellus spinosus) rescued from a neighbour's garden waste bin this morning. @britishspiders.bsky.social #londonwildife

Garden wildlife. The Fox family feeding last night. The three cubs are at the end of the garden and the vixen (Mum) is nearer the house. 🧡🦊🦊🦊🦊 #londonwildlife
