The most regular visitor to our garden is DIDI, the dove. Easily recognisable as its black collar was nearly pecked off some time ago (by a magpie?) and hasn't grown back properly. It's taken to landing on the patio door handle and pecking at the glass - as well as flying about flapping its wings like mad - to attract our attention: Hey where are my seeds?
Then there's Colonel Bogey, which Didi doesn't tolerate much. Lots of tits of all sorts, sparrows, a couple of robins, thrushes and blackbirds, a greater spotted woodpecker, and very occasionally a sparrowhawk.
We also have a family of foxes which has lived nearby for a good 10 years. We sometimes find them out sunning themselves in our vegetable patch and lately on a bench!
Add a few toads and lots of insects and bees and you have a lively and lovely garden to enjoy all year.

Hi Froggie and welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have your hands full, but if you find time, we all like to put a face to the name so to speak - got any pictures of your garden friends? We'd love to see them.
Cheers, Linda.

Hello and welcome Froggy. Your garden sounds lovely and busy, I envy you the foxes.
As your chosen name on here is Froggy, I wonder do you have a pond or a special interest in pond life?
As the others mention, I look forward to future posts and photos. :-)
Kind regards Jane.
Hi Froggy
Welcome to the site and it sounds like you have a great garden there. The idea of birds knocking for their feed worries me with the amount that come to the garden.
