my garden

Post by Mervyn Thornhill »

On the dead tree in my garden at the moment is this regular visitor (see photo1 or possibly 2). This exact same spot (see second picture or possibly first) is a lookout post for many birds and the tree is a nesting site for great tits and nuthatches and (once) for GS woodpecker. The garden has been full of butterflies in recent days with painted lady and gatekeeper especially prominent. The fencing in the field beyond is part of a forthcoming housing development. It will be interesting to see how much wildlife stays with us.

Those who read my original of 31st July will have wondered what it was all about. When I look back I think the site didn't accept my photos for some reason but I think it will now. Perhaps my original will now make sense.
