The Brambles, 22 - 28 June 2015

Hello :) With the sunny weather and longer days the garden is thriving and the birds and wildlife too. The front lawn is looking a little untidy at the moment but I like to leave it when there are wild flowers because the bees like them. Although I now that Steve is keen to get mowing! Out the back we have left a wild patch the same as last year, but it's taking it's time to grow!!!

Hello :) It's very exciting this week with the arrival of at least one young great spotted woodpecker. I know that I've already mentioned this but I couldn't resist saying it again! Unfortunately no good photos yet. So this page I am sticking to flowers :)

Breaking News - Young Great Spotted Woodpecker - Spotted

Hello!!! I just had to post to say that I'd seen the first (of hopefully many) sightings of a young great spotted woodpecker. It was being fed breakfast this morning by a very attentive parent :)

Unfortunately by the time I'd come back with my camera, the young one had moved to a different branch and was not so visible, so no photos. Hopefully between Steve and I we will get something!

Later I saw a parent flying back and forth to one of the taller trees where there was a young one. Not sure if these were the same birds or not. There are quite a few woodpecker's that come for the food. 

So it's all very exciting at the moment in the garden :)

These are two wonderful photos that Steve took a couple of weeks ago of Mrs P stocking up on fat block to take back to the nest :)

I hope that you see something exciting today in the natural world near you, bye for now, Natasha :)
