Family of turkeys this morning. Kept a safe enough distance? did not like the idea of momma or poppa turkey thinking they needed to protect their young.

Spotted a couple skinks on a family hike yesterday

Just your everyday Rabbit .

@SKT the blue tail on those five lined skins are so beautiful. I saw my first one at my Nana's house a couple of summers ago. They're quick, I only saw it for a moment and it was gone.

Rosie found these two and possibly interrupted something spicy.

Beautiful creatures called Eastern Box Turtles. I put them back where we found them after taking a few quick photos.

@Oaktavia love the eyes on the top dude

[Oaktavia]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I've seen box turtles with red and/or pink eyes like that. So cool.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Beautiful!

@goosehd Good chance of seeing a badger after dark when you are in Gosport

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Soooo many hummingbirds here, I watch them all day long. I’ve seen them drinking from the flowers in the garden, but haven’t been stealth enough yet to snap that pic….

[goosehd]

@Giles I hope badgers are not a euphemism for people hanging out at the public loo’s you previously mentioned.

[twin]

@Oaktavia Yea we need more Box Turtles in this world.

[Oaktavia]

@twin I absolutely agree with that.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot that first pic is amazing! looks like a selfie with your spirit animal

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@flannel-slut it 100% is, homie! I was told white people can’t have them, but if I could….
