I wonder what exciting wildlife shall show up in the garden this year
So to kick off 2023 in my garden a couple of wee cuties from this morning (a cold and Frosty one)
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Hope you are all enjoying the sun and getting an equal share of the rain although not enough rain IMO
Just a wee quick update from the garden....
This little guy comes to visit on his own every day...he seems at ease in the garden
Then his relatives turn up.....causing mayhem
Seriously not big enough for 1 to have a wash in!
More suited to this size
The garden is pretty much dominated by the starlings just now which is always lovely to see
Thanks for looking and stay safe in the sun ;-)
Hi Linda, babies everywhere just now, I have not seen any young starlings yet, have had sparrow, goldfinch, blackbird (nested in garden), and songhrush. I bought one of those wicker,twig woven bird houses, like a large swiss roll, and fixed it in a bush, hoping the robin would use it. Last week, I was seeing a wagtail about on the lawn, on watching it, it flew into the bush, excited was I. Obviously could not go near to investigate, but from inside I can see from the window, as the hedge is away from the wall a bit, waited and out out flew waggie, did not know from where though, waited for it to come back and into the wee house it went. Can't wait to see the young ones. Many years back we had swallows build in the overhang at the front door, have hardly seen them over the years, well they are back this year and have built a nest in exactly the same place. All ready for her to lay and sit. What a mess they make, last time I laid newspaper and lifted the top sheet each day, had to wrap paper around the hand banister as well!! Hopefully we will have babies and I will post their progress. Longing for a bit of rain up here!! Sun started on Sunday, not too hot, yesterday bit hotter and by this afternoon, meant to be 26c!! Will be looking for shade somewhere!! Enjoy all your young one's. CL x
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I was kind of hoping for Tawny Owl as hear it calling every night but delighted with Mr blackcap...just shows you what sneeks in when your not looking ;-)
