Good Twitter week #20

Birds, both wild and kept (tamed is not a word I’d use for emus), stray cats in circles, a fox the colour of glowing embers, and a rare daylight mole sighting.

3. Troublesome emus

They have progressed to stealing my camp chair altogether.
Also Zal, apparently on an adoption spree, has decided Comet is also his son.#birdtwitter pic.twitter.com/fYc4vQcMp8

First time I saw this animal.

6. Daytime mole

I was OUTSIDE. I found a MOLE. I’ve never seen a live MOLE. It ran into my SHOE. And now I’m in LOVE. pic.twitter.com/iMp6Mw4lRt

7. Huge baby owls

We could hardly believe it when we got a message from Jos Baart telling us that Europe's biggest owl, the Eurasian eagle-owl, had made a nest in a planter in front of his window. Not only that, she had also hatched three giant chicks!#vroegevogels #springwatch #owl pic.twitter.com/gz1odkFLYC
