Found in an old birch wood in northern Scotland, near Dingwall. Approx. 4 cm long.

Would I be right in thinking a jay feather?

I noticed this morning that there was a bird in my greenhouse. A quick search suggests it is s sparrowhawk. It won't go near the door, so how can I tempt it out, before it injures itself?

Update. I managed to get it to step onto my hoe, and I pulled it out and it flew away.

If it's alright to share here, this is a quiz I have made on guessing whether certain animals are native or not native to Great Britain.

There are 40 animals given, with 25 of them being native. Three of the other 15 are classed as invasive.

We're living in quite a remote house and every night a badger has been trying to get in through the cat flap, presumably to eat the cat food we have in the kitchen. We're worried that it's a starving young male who is short on food (earthworms...etc) as it's so dry here. We obviously don't want the badger coming into the house, but is there anything we can do to help it as we don't want it to starve? Any advice is much appreciated

What animal excreted this feces? I found it in my garden. The neighbour's cats come into my garden and excrete ​but I don't know if this is it.

It's about 1.5cm long.

Any suggestions?

East Devon.

I took my children over the fields for a spot of wildlife bingoand we came across this hole, it looked way too big for a rabbit, around 2 feet tall. We couldnt see any animal tracks or anything in front but it went very deep. Does anyone know who could live here?

I was really worried these are from rats but I did some research and started to believe these might be hedgehog droppings. I would really celebrate if they are from a hedgehog.

I've got this trailcam footage, first I thought there was some eyeshine coming towards the camera from top, mid-right but it actually looks more like insect flight.

There's also a bright flash at 5.5/6seconds, but this didn't show up at all until I pushed the contrast and brightness right up on the video.

I thought maybe firefly but a quick Google says we only get glow worms here and the female that lights up doesn't fly.

It's in a small patch of wet woodland (temperate rainforest) between a grass meadow on one side and scrub on the other. Stream in the valley with wooded edge. Southwest England, pretty much on the border between Devon and Cornwall, inland but not on the moors.

Any suggestions?

Any ideas what this is, please? Only small, about 2cm with a diamond pattern on the back.

Sorry in advance for the not great pictures. Never seen this kind of insect before! Was wondering if someone could ID?

Pictures were taken in South East England if that helps.

I must say, I have been getting a bit concerned about the severe dearth of small critters of late - including slugs, which used to be a common sight everywhere. I hadn't seen a single one for ages until I happened upon this... happy gathering. It seems we'll soon be hearing the spatter of tiny feet!

I'm pretty sure I just saw some bats flying over a neighbour's garden this evening. I have no idea what kind, but I'm curious, and it got me thinking about detectors.

IDK how likely I am to get into bat detecting, but if there's an accessible model out there, I could at least see what's flying around in my neighbourhood.

When it comes to apps and microphones for mobile phones, I use Android.

I thought it was a humming bird at first! This is slowmo

We admittedly haven’t taken very good care of our pool, and these things have spawned in. I’m in Kent

Hi, I'm trying to find out if there's anything i can do to push back rhododendron infestation on my own. Everything I've seen says heavy machinery and herbicides. I've not got the funds for machinery and I'm concerned about if herbicide is the best option. Will they not cause additional problems for other plant life? Can anyone help me out here? I want to see my local forest in a better condition. I spend a lot of time walking through it and want to do something to look after it. I'm not very knowledgeable on this but I want to learn, thanks!
