    Okay, here goes:
    pinned Thread of Critters Not Staying Off My Damn Lawn.

    (Mostly hasty mobile shots, and added to as time goes by and the creatures gather or I rediscover old photos.)

    First up: the partridge family. Or rapphöns as they're properly called.
    First time since we moved here 15 years ago that I've seen 'em, so today I guess we celebrate 🥳

    Spoopy month special:
    Me and a parti-coloured bat (bat's on the right, and also called a rearmouse, wtf?).
    Found 'em three years ago on a piece of lath while constructing stuff, so I relocated the gråskimlig fladdermus to a place with less of a risk of injury and/or death by cats.

    Me posing with a slightly annoyed Vespertilio murinus in front of greenery on the way to higher ground.
    Bat sleeping peacefully on a piece of lath propped up in a heap of planks and stuff.

    "I never thought I'd grow a hare there!" is* what Christina, Queen of Sweden, said when her imported European hares spread from Lovön to neighboring islets (and after a few more imports they settled about the south half of Sweden).
    This fälthare's probably taking a well deserved rest after running around and messing up the crops in late March.

    * or not. Probably not.
