Garden wildlife

Working in the garden certainly seems to have attracted the birds. They search away around in the newly turned soil, nuzzling the ground looking for grubs. Seeing them in the garden encouraged me to want to try and attract more birds, so when we were at the brico the other day I bought a feeder, made of fat and seed.

The chaffinches, blue tits and great tits absolutely loved it, so I then bought a whole bucket full when we went to the garden centre. Brian hung a few up for me all around the garden. It’s lovely sitting having a coffee and watching them nibbling away. Quite delightful.

The little lizards are also spending much more time out and about soaking up the sun. Although this one looks quite large and Jurassic-like amongst the moss, he isn’t, he’s just about 5” long.
