Garden Wildlife UK

Wet out into the garden with their food and there were three hedgehogs there.

The warm sunshine paid dividends today on my walk. Seen three peacock and four speckled wood. Not a bad haul.

Seen my first common lizard of the season this morning. On a piece of wood I placed a few weeks back.

Seen another peacock butterfly this morning. Never stayed put long enough though.

Good news JS.

Very good JS.

Walking the lanes this morning and seen a bit of fluttering. Got closer when it landed. Was a peacock, and did manage to get a few seconds of video, but had its wing closed. Car came by and it flew off.

Good news Butterfly. Is the same here, but am getting a couple of rooks now looking for food. There is a rookery close by, and they are nest building.

Not heard of a virus in blackbirds JS. Will have to do a bit of digging around the net.

Found it, a mosquito born virus that affects blackbirds called Usutu. Has reached Dorset now.

Not seen any spawn or frogs on my travels, and I see a pond most days.
