So instead of starting a new discussion everytime I get new visitors or decent shots of wildlife in the garden I shall just keep adding to this one.
So today it was the Great Spotted Woodpecker, 2 of them chasing each other around the trees
Just managed to catch the 2 of them together
Then it was Woodpecker v Starlings....yes I see yous up there

Linda257 said:all done with a broken brush lol..the handle broke off after about 2 strokes ...It was actually easier, like using a scrubbing brush...summerhouse and decking will have to wait as my wee fingers are aching.....
oh dear, I remember timber treating my friends garden fencing which was quite extensive with third of an acre plus a garden shed, etc., took Mike and I three days working all day but we did it and it looked fabulous when we finished and my friend was thrilled as it had been on her to do list. I find it quite therapeutic, albeit hard work, but the most difficult bits are always where you have to work behind the overgrown shrubs by the fence when you get poked, jabbed and scratched LOL Keep up the good work and the planting as your garden offers the wildlife such a good variety and your reward is all these beautiful animals frequenting your gorgeous garden.

You have been busy Linda and it looks lovely. I totally sympathise with you regarding the painting, very therapeutic but takes so much time. We have a ranch style fence down half a field length and some between us and the neighbours. If memory serves me correctly it was about 80m and as we put it up both sides had to be painted, The neighbours were very good and were happy to do their side, we did offer. Sadly in the high winds a year ago several sections were getting battered with either a south or north wind, eventually about two thirds came down, [because we have very sandy soil the posts were bedded down three feet in concrete] so we left it, as at the time [with landowners permission] as there were neither sheep or cows in the field. We are just this week, hopefully getting someone in to do some garden works and put an ordinary field fence up. The reason we put up a 6 feet fence in the first place was, that there has been talk over many years that houses may be built.. We have decided that after this long and the way things are, it will not happen in our time! Anyway your garden looks lovely Linda and the new trees will soon come on and give you shelter. Love the cheeky Squirrel!
Edit: Me too as far as the bling, wedding, engagement and eternity ring and a nice watch.Not been much into jewellery nor painted nails [they grow and need clipped every week] so would be forever doing them!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Aww thanks Catlady...our fence is about 75ft long from the back of the house (no I havent done the side bit yet..back of garden more important) Yours is mighty long compared to mine! ...Hope all goes well with your garden works!
Oh and guess what popped up amongst all the pink Gladioli...a white one lol
Lot to learn
