Wildlife in the Garden

i Usually go out in the garden more often during Spring and Summer than Autumn and winter and I tend to go out in the garden to look after my Wildlife shelters, bird feeders, nest box, and wildflower borders and to look out for Wildlife like insects and invertrebetes but I tend to go out in the garden more often during Spring and Summer so I tend to look for them almost every time I go out since I see more of them about. The Blue Tit gets used to seeing me at one of my borders so on lots of occasions Iv been able to be out in the garden at the same time as him or her and if I’m lucky get a photo while its not looking without being noticed since It’s used to seeing me take pictures of things in that spot.

The Robin is another one that gets used to me in the garden there’s been a couple of occasions where im either planting or sitting down and a Robin will go round the garden looking for worms so sometimes it runs into me and approaches me closely tilting its head but then just continues looking.

The Blackbird also gets used to me in the garden aswell. There’s been lots of times where I have been in the middle of doing something and the blackbird hops around as if I’m not there just doing blackbird stuff like looking for insects and turning leafs without thinking about weather he’s close or not.

The Woodpigeons get used to me aswell Iv had times where Im looking at something and the Woodpigeon just turns up and has a drink. Luckily not a bath otherwise I would get wet.

The Starlings sometimes land on the grass while I’m out there aswell
And I have been able to sit outside while goldfinches are outside before but have had to hide and watch for them same for other birds aswell


most often it’s the Blue Tit Robin Blackbird and woodpigeon. It’s amazing how garden birds can get used to people’s presence in a garden or other places people visit as long as there’s food and water available of course

Getting ready to put my hand on the soil for it to crawl 

off and dig into the soil. Worms are beneficial cause there food for birds and beneficial for the plants and the soil aswell

 

Going to dig into the soil 

After digging it went through the hole
