Wildlife Corner

@Sheal . That is exactly what I wanted to know.

Many thanks to you Dave. 2 is an excellent idea and you're right! I'll give that a go. First the birds need to realise my table has seed on it, all day today only a single blue tit bothered eating any, though a starling did walk across it to have a look over the other side. The other 2 answers...

Mommy-mommy, For Christmas I want that wicker house I saw at the garden center...fark.com here it is, my little one, ... you like it?basketcase-miniatures.blogspot.com

love it, Marge!! :D

It's always nice to look at pictures of tits in the garden.

Im off in the morning and I will keep you posted on whether northern birds are fussy eaters.

Thanks for the helpful replies.

I'd guess fox.

Thanks for that,I managed to get a peek at a small part of the caterpillar earlier and from the small section I could see, it looked very much like an apple moth larvae (same colour and texture looking skin).Would an apple moth even nest on a Callistemon?I was planning to prune off the new...

Hi Borrowers To be totally honest I have just looked it up and I believe it is:dh::hehe:

Goosgog i found the picture on the web .. while i was attempting to identify Robins eggs..

So glad they've all been able to do what birds have to do in Spring Spruce, Jenny

What a shame Jen. I think I would put my money on the deer too. Those beautiful bandits put their gorgeous lips on anything they can find. I had them marauding in my last garden and much heartache and expense they caused me until I accepted reality and fenced them out. It was an expensive and...

No, you're not alone, ladies. I share your distaste for captivity. However, there are occasions, as Kedi points out, where it is a species' salvation. I am currently hooked on the series "The Lion Man" where Craig Busch devotes all of his life to breeding lions and tigers at his park in New...

Having a great interest in natural history. I am so pleased that after such a long time, many of our wildlife are becoming established again. Birds of prey, otters, beavers and also many of the smaller mammals. I believe that in some parts, wild boar have been captive bred and are now being...

marley what a fantastic story and the pictures are fab, thank you for putting this up, will hope that these beautiful creatures are safe

Thanks Rosa :luv: xx

Blueberries strawberries raspberries redcurrants and blackcurrants ? Not bushes granted but I couldnt get near mine last year for all the damned blackbirds in them so they must be good for the birdies right? The wee devils just might even leave a few behind for you to eat M

Don't see it mentioned above, but try Geum. The bees seem to love it.
