Garden Wildlife UK

What a great season you've had, Squirrel - your house and garden are a wildlife haven

Wow, standing room only at Squirrel's Place !!

Not only illegal to cut trees 'n' shrubs because of nesting but also it's the incorrect time of year to trim - unless you don't like the particular shrub !! When the sap's up, it's a bad move.

Well done Squirrel . I would be wary of anyone appearing out of the blue offering to do garden work. Almost certainly itinerants

Thank you, I have been bitten once before by some people butchering my fir tree in the front garden many years ago. They cut all the branches off on the road side and left the bare trunk visible, and then pushed all the cut off bits back into the tree so it looked neat and fine. I didn't notice a problem until the cut off branches all started to die off - too late then, the men were long gone!!!

God, that's atrocious who would even think to do that

It happens all the time up this way ,one day you see nice trees and hedge in then the next walk to the same place is all gone. Still got no Robins except this one.my picture winna work it says to big.

Rambo is taking whole mealworms away so I think Mrs. R. is sitting - already .
(and the bluey from next door is still cashing in !!

Yesterday OH was sitting on the grass about 18" from a young robin - still a bit fluffy - it closed its eyes and seemingly slept for a few minutes before flying away

Rambo's gaily painted little handcart is in full use again .
Since yesterday we have both reverted to the harassed and panic-stricken mode

After a protracted, lonely, silent hiatus, this morning who should zoom to the patio wall upon my first emergence but my old mate, Rambo !!
I reckon we're expecting a third happy event so out with the mealies and the knitting needles.

I recall that about maybe 6 years ago I was permitted to assist in an August third brood. That would have been Rambo's g-g-g-g grandrobin whose name now regrettably and inexcusably eludes me for the moment .......
