Well last saturday we had our Giving Nature a Home day when we had various activities all related to how you can help wildlife in your back garden. Jimmy who's one of our volunteers and looks after our wildlife garden was on hand to give advice about what plants are good to grow to help wildlife and simple things you can do such as leaving patches of grass to grow longer to benefit insects. We also had build your own nest box which was quite popular and a trail around the wildlife garden all about different homes for wildlife such as bug hotels, hedgehog homes and ladybird houses. An added bonus to the day was a little owl which was very obliging and could be seen thoughout most of the day. I even attempted to photograph it through the telescope and considering how far away it was I think it came out fairly well. It's a bit of a 'spot the owl in this picture' but you can just about see it sitting on this cattle feeder. All in all a great day!
