The place where you can shout: "Hey! I just spotted a ......"!!

Because I couldn't see anywhere obvious to do this, and I really wanted to, I've started this off. If anyone thinks it's better somewhere else, go ahead and move it!

In the meantime, Yahay, I just spotted the first hare in Abby's garden...whoopidoo! I love the hares!!

Excellent idea! Last night I spotted my first brown bunny and my first tortoise! I was very excited!

The brown bunny was the first thing I found, oddly, after a huge amount of searching...I wasn't giving up till I got SOMETHING! I'd love to find a tortoise now. Only mice in my own garden so far, but that will all change soon, I hope.

Good idea for a thread!
I haven't spotted anything to whoop-whoop about lately, but a friend found a Tortoise in my garden yesterday! So that'll have to do for now ...

I bagged my first tortoise this morning, AND my second chipmunk! Exciting times (sad person here!!)

Oh well, we can all be sad together then! Well done!

It's lovely to be in the company of equally sad souls; I wouldn't want to be with anyone else!!

Now, stop keeping me from finding my first badger, would you?

How can we be sad when we get so much joy from this?! (Yes, I know what you really meant ... )

I just spotted my first Tortoise (3 have been spotted in my garden), and it was also the first Tortoise for that garden!

Got my hedgehog, eventually! Dreams do come true ))

Now I'm planning to find a badger and a tortoise!

Well done you!

I just spotted my first Easter Bunny!! It was in one of my 'favourited' gardens and was the first Easter Bunny for that garden.
Very unexpected and exciting!

I just caught one too - it's so fun!!!

I SHOULD have stayed up all night...I'm missing all the fun, and now I've got to go to work. Oh grrrrrr.

I got him! I have been stalking him for nearly 24 hours...he took ages to show up and I went to sleep and to work during the waiting period, and then I came home today, went straight to her garden, and there he was!!



Now I can relax

An Easter Bunny! It wasn't the first for this garden but it was a first for me, and I wasn't even actively looking....just visiting one of my regular haunts.



Very excited!!!

You are awesome - thanks so much for catching him!

Hey I notice something about your EB image - it says to water a plant and see if there's any more wildlife. Has anybody else seen that text? I notice it's not on Mercon's image, and it wasn't on mine either. What do you think it means? I really like the way I don't have to water a whole garden top spot the wildlife - do you think that's changing?

Well spotted...I didn't notice that at all, but then I was very excited at the time

I cannot believe there's going to be anything else in a garden immediately after an Easter Bunny, given the extraordianry lengths of time we're all waiting now for things to show up! It's a trick to make you waste gold!

Although, looking at it again, I must have gone back to your garden to take that screenshot, because it says I spotted the EB 13 minutes ago. So maybe if you return for a second look, you get a standard invitation to try again.

You're quite right nicolle! Whenever I go back to a critter I've spotted via the notifications page, I get that invitation as well! So don't panic Liz, I think more than enough gold (virtual and real) is being spent on the wildlife hunting, so can't really see the developers trying to get us to pay even more.............yet!!!

I spent a fortune trying to spot the easter bunny! Now I finally got one too
Still have a badger to catch.. hedgehog checked, tortoise checked!

You're doing well, Anastasia! I'm still after the badger too, and I need him to visit my own garden.

I'm excited because I just got my first bonsai!

And here he is:

Wow - congrats!
I haven't found one yet, so hadn't seen the full picture before now. Ahhh, look at him sitting there, so cute!

Thank you! I'm still thrilled, but my husband is probably a little fed up with me saying, "I found a BADGER" by now...he has no idea!

I expect they sit just like that in the wild, don't you...

Actually, there is a tale about me spotting that badger, which you can read on the old DB, here:

if you want to!

Well done on that badger! I'm sure your husband will get used to it eventually, and when you spot the red squirrel he'll be prepared.......Tee Hee!

Very interesting reading, your DB thread! Must have made the spotting of the badger twice as thrilling!

I just spotted my 27th field mouse!!!! Hee hee.... I'm not having much luck with the critter spotting so am trying to get excited about the meeces again!
