The Woodland
Our birdboxes are in place and we’re crossing our fingers that we’ll have new residents within a couple of months. To help with this we’ve stocked up on speciality bird feeds to attract a wider range of feathery friends, such as great tits, goldfinches, robins, blackbirds, blue tits, chaffinches, sparrows and green woodpeckers.
Our hedgehog house has had visitors in the evenings; we’ve seen pathways of vegetation trampled down so we may be lucky and have someone hibernating in there. We’ll have to wait and see as the weather warms up and the smaller mammals awake and show themselves.
The worms in the wormery are still a little cold and drowsy but they’ll start wriggling awake soon. The rooms at the bug hotel were ‘fully booked’ over the winter months so hopefully we’ll see an abundance of ladybirds and butterflies very soon!
