Closer to Home

This has been a good few months for the garden wildlife. Amongst the less common birds we have had a female blackcap for most of the winter and then a male turned up as she left. Several brambling spent a month or so with us and we had transient visits from siskin and a redpoll. Now with spring well under way the garden is well supplied with fairly tame babies of various species.


In the fields opposite the house the rabbits are doing what rabbits do best and I've never seen such numbers! They also seem fairly accustomed to people coming and going and I hope for some nice pictures in due course.
