I notice that the sidebar shows that we now have 250 subscribers to the UK Nature and Environment community.

I recall reading a while back that the subscriber numbers only refer to subscribers on the local instance - feddit.uk. I am not sure whether that is still true but, if so, we presumably have at least a few more than that from other instances.

Either way, it is good to see the numbers increasing - so: Hi everyone - hope that you are having a good Sunday!

I have just been watching a kestrel surveying the garden from the larch at the end and yesterday evening had a stoat in the garden for a while, which ran up our apple tree and back down without breaking stride. I have never really seen one go all the way up a tree like that before. It puts a different perspective on how they hunt.
