McGee Creek

On Christmas Eve I went over to see how the beaver was doing on McGee Creek.

Not much to see, but to the right of the yellow post is the pile where the water snake posed in the October sunshine. To the right, beside the opon water there were some tracks, but I don't think made by an animal with a significant tail

Further down stream, the Creek was quite surprisingly large:

Above the bridge the Creek was snow covered:

Not a sign of cattle on the bank to the South-East:

There were some cattle at the top of the hill to the South, 600m away from the Creek.

tracking animals

In September 2010 Maike introduced me to a description of how squirrels bounded across the lawn - "boing boing"  
I didn't react to the description until a day or so ago when I photographed squirrel tracks in the snow and thought her descriptive term was quite appropriate. So I looked up the word in goggle and was surprised to find a whole new world! (Which has very little to do with squirrels!)

So here I am looking north:

looking at squirrel tracks in the snow:

What is missing is a squirrel - or a nut! So this is what one looks like, complete with nut:

This guy was in Tudhope Park - and so was I for that matter.

I was going to add fox trots and tracks but they might be wrongly ID-ed so I'll leave that to a separate entry.
