Another night
We had a cool cat stroll past the camera trap the other night. It's a Genet, Genetta genetta. Not really a cat, but very cat-like.

According to Wikipedia, the common genet was brought from the Maghreb to south west Europe as a domestic animal about 1000 to 1500 years ago. The genet is evidence of the phrase sometimes used here - 'Africa ends at the Pyrenees.'

Brock, out late
I have a new toy, thanks to my daughter. It's a camera trap.

Mr Brock the Badger strolled past at 1am, and my new camera caught him:
The big challenge will be to photograph a Roe Deer like the one I saw a while ago (http://croftingcatalunya.blogspot.com.es/2017/03/deer-here.html). I'll keep trying!
