    Can any one I.D what left these tracks?

    I found these tracks in and around the compost heap and I have no idea what they are and I'm curios what made them. There's no dogs can get to the area and their to big to be a cat (I think). the blue disc is 3 1/2inch in diameter. I'm i the uk so we don't have racoons or things like that. thanks

    Testing the new camera

    Finally got a new camera and taking tortoise pics was obviously the best way to test it. I can't believe how much she's grown already. She's up to 46.2 grams and the new growth seems to be coming in nice and smooth too.

    Believe it or not my wife has just let me throw the dinning table and chairs out to make room for the new tortoise enclosure and it was her idea, I got a little carried away and it was a tad too high to go where the old one was. It did fit just took over a bit too much. so now its in the dinning...
