"They're right...it was the cat!"

(Gilbert and Sullivan, HMS Pinafore.)

These are the tracks of our cat, Figaro, and lead from the back steps, across the patio and return, as you can see, to the back steps with no evidence of a pause in their progress.

I think he decided it was just too cold for his liking and came straight back in through the cat flap last night.

Dumb animals???

PS Anyone able to identify this one for me?. There were about four of them on the bird feeder but this is the best I could manage through the window before they vanished!
