Siësta

Most of our ferns are wilting due to the warm weather and ongoing drought.

While watering with a water can, I suddenly spotted a visitor.

Pan is having a siësta. I think I should follow his example ☺︎

Pan

Redhead

This redhead is searching for some hazelnuts...

He keeps coming back and at this speed all the nuts will be gone soon

PHE

Yesterday I went to Piet Hein Eek.
Piet Hein Eekhoorn has been visiting our hazel today.

Obviously no coincidence ;)

Offspring

I'm wondering if this might be Mobli's daughter.......

Close Up

Mobli came really close......

Action Hero

 And..... ACTION!

Burp ;)

Feral Cat

This is our favourite furry garden visitor. I think Mobli must be a feral cat.

Mobli Returns

Three days in a row we saw Mobli!
We missed him for a while but on friday morning the kenderman saw Mobli visiting our backyard.

Early saturday morning my brother saw Mobli and sunday morning it was my turn.

Lots Of Good Company

We have been having our friends around.

While we were having tea they spotted a cat in the garden.

It was Mobli back again.

A good thing never comes alone!

Twilight Mobli

Last night Mobli was here again!

(wish I could have made better pics)

Morphic Mobli

Yesterday Mobli visited our garden for just a brief moment.
The kenderman thought of him earlier that day......

Before we could think of a way of feeding him he had left already.
We were both happy to see Mobli again.

Twilight

bad twilight photo

Yesterday we talked about Mobli.

I said something like: "We haven't been seeing him for months".

The kenderman suggested he might be dead because this wild cat,
 assumably living a tough life, would be at least 10 years old by now.

We have been living here for seven years and he has been visiting our garden from the beginning.
He didn't look like a younster then and he already had some scars.

Around 8 o'clock we went inside because it was getting colder.
Just when we finished our dinner we both saw Mobli walk into our garden!
As if he had heard us talking earlier :-)

We're so glad he's alive and kicking and he still visits our garden to hunt!

Mobli

His half-closed eye gives him a bit of a sad look.

Another quick visit from our welcome visitor Mobli.

Mobli Again

Last friday and saterday, two days in a row, I saw Mobli again.

If you don't know who Mobli is, you can read about him here and here.

 I was taking photos from the inside of the house but he heard me opening the window.

 Then his attention was caught by something else.

But he wasn't at ease anymore.

And therefore he left again.
 I hope he will back soon!

Cow Cat

I love this cow cat visitor.

With the help of Snor we named him Mobli (monocular blindness).

There is no better way for me to start my day early ...........just to see Mobli in our field.

Being able to take his picture is an extra bonus.

Mobli

Yesterday evening our visitor Mobli was back again.

Always good to see him!

Welcome Visitor

This tough stray / feral cat lived here before we did.

There was an old shed in our garden and one time we caught him

running away from it when we came close.

We suspected he was a feral /stray cat and he must have been sleeping in that shed.

Our field is full of mouses so it must be a nice hunting ground for him.

Twice we have found a dead rat in our garden.

He must have been responsible for it or perhaps an owl.

We hadn't seen him for a long time so I was afraid something might have happened.

But yesterday there he was again!

His right eye is half closed and sometimes (according to the light) this eye looks blind.

But I'm not really sure. He keeps his save distance.

During this photo shoot we were 20 metres away inside the house.

When he hears or sees someone, he's gone.

Because of his light coloured eye I call him Huskey.

My kenderman thought of Clint because of his "Go ahead punk, make my day" look.

Do you know a better name? please let me know!

Almost every animal in our garden gets a name, if we can think of one :-)

A woodpecker = RinusPecht, a squirrel = Piet Hein Eekhoorn, a bee = Maja de Bij,

a spider = John de Wolf(spin), a crow = Hans Kraay, a bumblebee = Ollie B. (B)Hommel,

a blackcap = Sjakie Swartkop, a snail = Henk Wijngaardslak, a little owl = Jan Steenuil

(these are all Dutch people)
