Garden Wildlife UK

I saw the Wren yesterday and today I heard it singing. they are very loud for such a small bird.

I saw a butterfly today. I couldn't get an ID. It was dark in colour so was probably a Red Admiral or a Small Tortoiseshell as both hibernate in the winter in their adult form.

My rarely seen Jenny Wren was busy in the garden this morning.

Getting a hedgehog hose is nest on my list for my garden wildlife. Hopefully going to get a wifi trail camera for the front garden. We did have a coupe of visiting hedgehogs last year. We've already had some entertaining videos of Willpar's hogs so I'm looking forward to seeing what you manage to g...

This year I have a couple. Of bird feeding stations in the. Back garden with a mix of seed and suet. This year I have also replaced my back garden nest box with one with a wifi camera in. Hopefully if we get visitors again ke we had the nesting blue tits I can share the video across my social media...

Strangely there has been more frog activity this week, so I may be getting some more spawn. There is no sign of the existing spawn giving any tadpoles but it has been cold overnight with some ice on the ponds.

Very little sign of frogs now. I think that is the fastest spawning season ever. It had no sooner started but was done and dusted.

Is that number down or up on other seasons.

I think that is less than I have come to expect but I think there were fewer frogs than last year.

There was a female Blackbird collecting nest material today. She flew off into a neighbour's conifer.

It looks like the peak of the spawning has passed. We have about 6 different blobs of spawn and the number of visible frogs has decreased.
