One of my favourite animals :)

I used to ave a hedgehog in my garden some years ago, but he was driven over by a car. So I was very happy when I heard that very distinctive sound of leaves they do when they look for food at night.
it was dark so I had to guess where he was - he wasn't too happy about the flash :)

You wouldnt be too happy if you were weandering around minding your own business and some giant leaned over and flashed a humungous bright light in your eyes either :D

Last time I was surprised by a bright flash like that it was followed a few weeks later by a 75 Euro fine + some points on my drivers license....
So I guess the hog should not complain - I gave him a verbal warning only

This is amazing. This entire river rises out of the ground just outside Georgiopolis having flowed underground from the Lefka Ori mountains a few miles away. You can see the size of the river from the second pic

Not nature, but a hazard up in the Cretan mountains for unwary drivers - the road signs are target for bored youths / hunters....

The road signs are appalling. Either missing completely, badly sited, shot to pieces, overgrown or badly sun faded...

I only recently got a digital camera, and all my pictures are made using the "Automatic" settings, hence the quality...
Still, managed to do catch some nice pictures.

Here are some bird pictures. Did not recognise all of them...

And here are some other pictures :)

P.S. The Dodge Power Wagon fire engine is fully operational and is used by a farmer to fight the occasional fires on his farm.

The other day, when it was actually sunny and warm, I heard a load of starlings chattering away, I looked about on the local chimneys & aerials, but I couldn't see a thing, then I looked at the tops of my Leylandii trees, and there they were, in a big group!!! I had to get my camera out for this one!!! :D

I have noticed a large number of birds these days in Israel whereas 30 years ago there were not many at all as I recall. Presumably as the vegetation increases so do the insects and then the birds Last one is obviously not a bird but a colourful cricket type insect

Thanks for clearing that up Rolf, they are as different as the difference between a glider and a jumbo jet. :-rofl2

My cousin is a complete outdoor nut, he goes all over GB and Europe bivouacking with his Mrs and the dogs. Last week they called in at the Pen-y Ghent Falconry Center. What a magnificent bird a falcon is, but aren't 2 and 3 an eagle? I'm sure Rolf will answer this
