I have Mink, Sika, Barbastelle, possibly Stoat, and possibly Glis glis - I'll get these up to the mamal gallery soon as , but time is so pressed at pres that it could be a couple of weeks.

I have a photo of a Minke Whale (well, the dorsal fin anyway...) but it was taken in Canada, not the UK. I'd offer it anyway but I'm sure someone else on here has seen them off Scotland 
I just looked up the entry on the Fox and to be honest I'm not sure about the inference that they're principally nocturnal as when they're not persecuted they're active at all hours. Also, I am unaware of any studies showing that Hedgehogs are a substantial part of their diet (certainly less than voles, which aren't mentioned) and it's well established that surplus killing takes place because of the confined situation of chicken runs. Foxes normally cache extra food.

I don't suppose I'd get away with uploading a Canadian bear photo too  but if anyone's interested, some of my other Canadian wildlife pictures can be found here, below the Fox pics, mixed up with the odd British robin and American wolf hybrid... Quote: |

As he is not being pushy about it I will Go on everyone click the link.It is great ther is lots of info on the site which Stuart himself has put there and it is very interesting.A way of learning about world wildlife and the problems they have and maybe the more people learn about it the more one day we will all be able to learn from it and protect all wildlife worldwide.

. | I have been there already but the trouble is that all my foreign species pics were taken in captivity so may not be what he wants. Also I would suspect that Stu wants people from around the world to sign up rather than just cloning the WAB membership - I could be wrong though .

I think I'll upload some of my Canadian and US mammal pictures at any rate. I only wish I'd had a camera of my own when I saw that gorgeous Canadian lynx sitting in the boreal forest six years ago, but, well, rueing missed opportunities is a photographer's staple diet.

I could kick myself for not taking pics of the huge jellyfish we saw on the beach in Penang last year - anyone out there in Malaya with a photo Stu could use on Wild About the World?

I already asked Stuart about animals in zoos and private collections and he answered I quote "We allow all images of all animals from all around the world, including those in captivity and private collections.

Is Stuart expecting us to put the missing pics on the encyclopedia, too? Or is he going to do that himself.

Hi Sittingfox,
It should be easy enough to add the pics to the encyclopedia, but if you just want to put them in the gallery then we'll be OK sorting them out instead

Stoat, sorted. Squeaked the little chap out of a clump of nettles today.
Any call for Feral Goat pics? They've been here longer than the grey squirrel!

Great Rob, thanks.
I think we can certainly stretch to the wild goats, horses, ponies etc

Hi there
I have a photo of a Natterer Bat which I will upload in the Gallery, I also have Soprano Pipistrelle and Common Pipistrelle too, but since you haven't asked for them I will check to see if there are any before I upload them.

Thanks Tragus - it looks as though we need some of the pics you have offered. It's a great help.

Hi Tink
I have uploaded the Natterer ands Soprano pip photos in the Gallery. There are already common pips so I won't update them!!!
However if they need moving somewhere else on the site, it would be better is someone else did that as I am a bit thick when it comes to linking them!!!!!!!!
