Yesterday I saw  a Hedgehog in my garden, it's a young one.
Later that day I talked with someone who has a garden next to me and he told that a few days ago in an other garden, 2 hedgehogs (probably mother and child) were fallen in a drain and drowned. They had taken away the drain cover for some work and didn't put it back.
I'm so upset, it's so stupid !!!    I think the hedgehog in my garden is an other child from that mother, I feel so sorry for him. I build a kind of shelter for him with lots of fallen leaves  and  I put some food outside, but I didn't see him again. I hope that I will see him tomorrow.

[Lots of Starlings]

Here is the Puzzle of the Week 228
Lots of Starlings

I heard a lot of noise, I went into my garden and saw hundreds of Starlings, every time a group of 100 a 200  (I think) flew right over my head, making a lot of noise. This tree was full of birds.

Here is a Video from 2 young White Storks on the nest.
I took it in june orso.

It's not Maxi, but a nest that's not far from Maxi's nest.
It shows only a very small part from what we saw.
I think we looked at the White Storks for 2 hours
I sent pictures from this nest 2 weeks ago.
