Many people see them as just a pest, but it was hard to feel that when I woke up this morning to see this lovely creature curled up asleep in the corner of the back garden. He looked very peaceful and in good condition and helpfully looked up at just the right point when I opened the window to take a picture of him. Trying to get a close up was more tricky; although I stalked him quite successfully - getting to within about 5m – as soon as he heard the camera he looked up and saw me then scarpered pretty quick.
