Jack Russell terriers are both vocal and hard-headed. Mr. Growley the angry talking dog has the same argument every night with me – he thinks it’s his bed.

Scat Tracking & Sh1t Talking – Identifying animal faeces
Tracking animals can be difficult on many types of terrain. It’s not always like in the guidebooks. But tracking doesn’t just involve knowing the patterns left by hoof and paw – sometimes knowing the scat and dung left behind by an animal can be even more important.In this video I take you tracking red deer,Continue reading “Scat Tracking & Sh1t Talking – Identifying animal faeces”
Red Deer Fawn is a Secret Land Rover Fan
Red deer (Cervus elaphus hippelaphus) use my neighbour’s abandoned property as a nursery, as it’s safer than being out in the forest with wolves, lynx and bears when raising their young.

SeeingContinue reading “Dolphins in Croatia – watching Bottleneck Dolphins from my terrace in Cesarica, Karlobag”

Because they are a protected species, these massive birds have no fear of humans and can often be quiteContinue reading “Great White Stork eating a snake in my garden (actually a Slow Worm)”
