New arrivals

Garden Snail

We've had a couple of new arrivals in the last 2 days. Firstly this little Squirrel below. He's a lot slimmer than Squizz and certainly not as cute but he is a lot tamer. He's been playing around on the grass and in the tree's whilst I was sat just feet away from him today.

Our second new arrival is a Song Thrush. I spotted her dashing in and out of the Hedge cuttings pile at the top of the garden, only a meter away from where the Black Birds are nesting. So that's looking quite promising. Hopefully I'll get some photo's of her tomorrow.

The feeders been quite quiet with just the odd visit from the sparrows and this little Coal Tit. Oh I think Mr cuckoo has found a mate. Saw two of them perched together earlier and he's been very quiet this afternoon.


There's not many things in my garden that makes my skin crawl, but this is ONE or as in this photo TWO of them. You wouldn't believe what it took for me to get this close to take this shot. I flinch just looking a it. Daft I know but I nightmares of them flying into my hair and not being able to get them out without hurting them. Very glad these two were busy doing something else, when I took this shot.
