A picture paints a thousand words. This is how I took the photo of Ferdy.
Wildlife in your Garden

Update on the Robins - All six chicks fledged. 
Four had left the nest by early evening on Sunday and the other two were out before I got up on Monday. They managed to avoid the pond (and the dog) successfuly and by yesterday evening all six had made it over the fence and out of the garden.
There are mature trees and park land on the other side of the fence and wild hedgerow just 20 yards away. Hopefully I'll see them visiting the garden to feed in the coming days, as they still rely on the adults for a week or two.

The local council have started leaving areas of the parks and verges by us uncut.
This is area hasn‘t been cut for a month and is turning into a meadow !
How cool is that and the dog loves it too lol
You just know that some idiots will be moaning to the council for not 'keeping it tidy'
That's exactly vhat happened near me. Parts of the parkland have delberately been left 'wild' and the local paper was full of complaints about council 'negligence'

It’s starting already - “ looks scruffy etc “
Must be saving the council a fortune in man hours and fuel though.
Saw a pine marten run along the top of the wall in front of our house today.
Are you in Scotland ?
If you put food out for them, you can get them to become regular visitors, if you stay out of the way.
I swear to god some people would love to live on a bowling green. lol
Yeah Argyll, I’ve indirectly done that, left 4 ducks out while I sorted their run and now have 2

If you put meaty scraps out for them, they’ll become regular visitors and maybe even set up a camera trap ?
We have areas like this by us but what happens it gets so overgrown people can't use it then lo and behold there is a planning application on it and gets sold off in some dodgy deal by the corupt councilYou just know that some idiots will be moaning to the council for not 'keeping it tidy'

I bought an Owl House to hang on the front of my tree in the front yard. I’ll post pictures if I get one to move in. Really looking forward to it.
