Amazing! I'm not expecting to see any butterflies up here or any other insects. Well spotted Willpar.

It has been a very cold week but most of the time I've been able to have water available in at least one of the bird baths or the ponds. Last night was the coldest so far and all their water was frozen solid. It was a minimum of one inch thick on the ponds. Using hot water and a jug I managed to tha...

I read an interesting article about Robins in the BTO's weekly newsletter. We are all familiar with their habit of turning up whenever there is any human activity in the garden.

The berries on the ivy are being eaten by the Woodies. The berries are still green but seem irresistible to the pigeons, The was 7 of them gobbling them down this morning.

At the base there is a very big gash in it ore something like that. When the weather is a bit better will make a video of it to show what is going on. But it the ...
