Garden Wildlife UK

My Tadpoles continue to grow but as yet I haven't seen one with legs.

I was stood squinting into my wildlife pond this afternoon when an Azure Damselfly arrived from out of nowhere. It always surprises me when they turn up as I don't live anywhere near a big body of standing water which they would like although the river is not far away.

Awww bad luck Placi. But a good sighting anyway

Did you bring them a Hedgie Bag from the barbie

It is this time of the year when the rowan is in bloom that my garden is subjected to a very low humming. this is from the multitude of Bumble Bees that are smothering it at present. They are mostly Tree BBs with a few White Tails to keep them company.

I'm currently getting through about one kilo of bird seed from the hanging feeders. Added to this is a slightly lesser amount of Sunflower hearts.

Very busy with birds in the garden today. I think they have been close on the record for the amount of food they've tucked away.

The arrival of fledglings in my garden appears to have slowed for the time being. I think the sparrows are on their second brood and the Blackbirds seem to have given their last brood the slip.

Good one Joomoo I have his twin brother most days.
