Silent "deadly" hunter.....


THIS is the culprit that has been playing havoc with the smaller animals and birds in my bro-in-laws green belt garden - hence bro-in-laws captions!



These are some of the larger wildlife that he feeds

I take it that the black panther does not belong to your bil???

Excellent photos of badger and fox together ..... I would think that's quite unusual to see them side by side?

No the cat belongs to one of their neighbours. It seems to be quite predatory. The Finch he mentions was some rare yellow Finch which he was very proud of visiting their garden. He was very sad over the loss of it. Personally speaking if it were me, I would stop feeding the birds. He is also into photography - pic of some of the feathered visitors below -

Its not unusual in his garden, the badgers and foxes do come down together to feed, completely ignore each other and the foxes are very respectful of the badgers - no one crosses them At anyone time he can have up to 7 foxes and 4 badgers in the garden at once
