Well I think it's time I started a new thread as the old one is way tooooooo long now but can still be found here:
https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/206786/in-my-garden
Also the garden has been renamed Parkneuk Reserve ;-)
Hope you all had a fabulous festive period and are all safe and well.
I have yet to venture out this year so it's just been me in my sparrowhawk hide (lol) aka Iona Summerhouse
So here's a few pics to kick off the new thread...hopefully get some new visitors this year..well I can live in hope ;-)
Jock taking pride of place in the Sprawk Hide
Had a mixture of sun, Frost and rain
Social distancing lollipops
Ringo hiding

Thanks for looking and hope you all continue to follow to the progress of my garden

The maggies are definitely nuts, if ours are anything to go by.
Here's a taster of what's already up to view from a couple of weeks back, captured on one of the trailcams. It'll melt your heart...

Garden work is on hold at the moment due to house works so wildlife is having a ball...
I am putting out feed from time to time but hidden out the way from pigeon view! Lol
So nice to finally get a young Robin ; -)
A sunbathing Dunnock
And one delighted Mrs GSW...that found a piece of raw pastry...all to herself
All last year and this year seedlings are growing like mad...woohooo
And then Maggie playing with a daisy
Then hid it down side of the chair...not like we are short on daisies!!!!
Then this is what you gotta put up with when feeding foxes...where did she hide the god darn food he asks lol
Not telling you darling heehee
And that concludes another wee catch up from my garden...thanks for looking.
Stay safe everyone ;-)
A fantastic selection of photos, and the wee juv robin looks a little small compared to the bath statue...
What I think you need is a trailcam, you'll get many fabulous images/videos of nocturnal activity in your garden.
Thanks Mike....I think the wee rrb was trying to make friends with the bird statue lol
A lovely update Linda, the flowers are fair blooming. Lots of birdie activity as well and Mr Fox. Hope you are having the great hot sunny weather that we are having up here. Several days now and the forecast looks good for this week as well. Got the summer duvet washed and dried today, we now have washer/dryers at the petrol station, so washed it for only £8! I Visit my folks after church and have lunch with them on a Sunday, so stuck it on their washing line and it was dry in no time. Looking forward to having a good sleep with the lighter duvet tonight. Take care.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Lot to learn
