Wednesday 21st February 2007 Pegwell
While I was sitting in the car in the traffic holdup
along the Sandwich road this afternoon, just past the entrance to the
nature reserve I observed two Common Weasels on the side of the
road, they looked to be playing tag or the like it was a fantastic sight.

Friday 16th February 2007 Dumpton Thanet
Observing a Hedgehog (western Erinaceus
europaeus) in the garden yesterday morning as it moved around the
garden for over an hour, it would seem to be well and enjoying the
sunshine. Today however I found the unfortunate mammal laying on the
stones playing dead, I have made a shelter over him to try and keep the
wind and the cold at bay, it just shows
that its not that warm in general, just the odd day which is confusing for
most of us as well as most of the wildlife. (Gadget)

While I was sitting at Ramsgate Harbour on the 6th
February a Herron Gull fighting over head dropped a Helmet Shell I
think, which was possibly used by a Hermit Crab at some time on
further inspection I discovered Nereis fucata (Polychaeta) inside.

A Grey Squirrel, lots of fresh Molehills and
quite a few fresh Badger tracks, provided mammalian interest although we
did not find Mr Brock; perhaps he was lurking in the mist. (Norman M)
