What is the most unusual visitor to your garden?

We had a hedgehog visiting regularly around June/July but sadly not seen him/her since, it'll be hibernating now of course but we hope to see it again next year. We also have a real good colony of Gold Finches coming to the feeding station, plus the usual suspects of house sparrows etc etc. Love to watch them. 

Our hedgehog hasn't hibernated yet, watched him have his supper last night ??

The most unusual and fascinating visitor to our garden were several dragon fly larvae which emerged from our pond and pupated on the reeds growing from it and then fly off.  This has only happened once. Strange thing was I had watched with interest the 'parents' performing the egg laying  several years earlier. 

We have resident Tawny Owl, foxes and squirrels. Rare hedgehog visitor, bird wise most unusual included Goldcrests, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Sparrowhawk. We also see Pipistrelle bats in Summer. 

We get a sparrowhawk on a regular basis; and also a male pheasant.  Have seen about 3 male and 3 female pheasants in the field at the back of the house at any one time.

Also get occasional foxes.

Not exactly in the garden but 50 yds in the adjoining field.Almost every morning a Buzzard is scampering about I presume catching worms.

We enjoy the bats that dart around our pond during summer evenings, incredible speed. Have no idea what type as they move so fast and can only be seen as the pass through the light from our lamp post.

This one on the bird feeder, obviously all the smaller birds took flight

Well captured photo of Mr Sparrowhawk, obviously hoping for lunch!

I can finally see the 'snow' on Dave's avatar - must have taken about a day to appear!
