I was so busy cooing over the cute weasel, it took a minute before I noticed the unfortunate rodent in its jaws. But after living in a place that had mice, I’m siding with the predator.

I saw this creature this morning; I don’t know who this is but he seems to have woken up too early.

I think it might be an Angle Shades moth caterpillar. They spend the winter as caterpillars. 
According to Iolo that would be: Gwyfyn llenni crychlyd (Crinkly curtain moth!!!)

My usual walk along the river bank is under about 17ft of water in places and the river is still rising, so I kept to the road side this afternoon.
This shows the Tweed from the middle of Norham Bridge looking south towards Lloegr (England).
Not sure which country Canny Island is in as it is right on the Border, but looking west from the bridge, Yr Alban (Scotland) is on the right the right of the island.
Looking east, you might be able to pick out the keep of Norham Castle showing just above the trees immediately to the left of the house on the right side of the photo. You will have to enlatge the picture.

Only the snowdrops here seem to be able to stand up to all this wind and rain. Oh, and the moss that seems to have replaced most of the grass.

Not an uncommon sight around here, but it is unusual to find a Pheasant - Ffesant wandering around the garden. Dw i ddim yn byw mewn plas.
