Did u know? We hate waste in our house &, wherever possible, recycle, reuse or repurpose. This is one of our blackbirds enjoying some of our food waste. It turns out they love to feast on the leftover porridge oats scraped out from the saucepan. It's always gone within a couple of mins. Bless 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐦‍⬛

Did u know? It's lovely when you get to spend time with your wild garden family.Yesterday, my compost heap robin took full advantage of the couple of hours I spent in that part of the garden. He's getting very confident now,coming up so close to me,pecking up small morsels I uncover as I work.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐦‍⬛

Did u know? Sometimes it's good not to bother to fix things. Meet our leaky front gutter... or our Clematis self watering *system*. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱💧🌍

Did u know? In wildlife friendly gardens things don't have to be *attractive* to be useful to small souls. This straggly upright is a Hawthorn sapling that self-seeded in our rambling rose hedge. Our resident birds love to perch on it to view their kingdom, like this feisty little robin. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🐦‍⬛

Did u know? These are reasons to garden for wildlife - to cut out chemical use that poisons/disrupts; to celebrate indigenous wildflowers(*weeds*)by allowing some to grow; to allow nature to find its own equilibrium; to help save our planet; find joy,knowing that you've given nature a home. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐦‍⬛🦎

I've found the video & cropped it, but now it's gone really blurry. The Tardi is to the top right of the long leaf-like structure. Try to ignore my hubs slamming doors in the background & the lights flashing....like I said, a bit heath robinson. 🤣🦠🦠You can just about see its legs moving about. ☺️

Did u know? You don't get much for free in life,but used cafe coffee grounds are one of them. If you see them being given away in cafes, grab some & add them to your compost heap. They're rich in nutrients that plants need to thrive, are great soil conditioners & great for acid loving plants. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍☕

Did u know? Autumn/Fall is such a wonderful season in nature. It's a time when life quietens down for a winter's break & everything is touched with mellow colours of gold,russet & amber. It also brings out the child in me. Who still loves to do this through the fallen leaves?..That sound too..🍂🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍

Did u know? Nature always has the answer...The world can seem like a big & scary place at times. Next time you feel fearful, just get yourself into an outside space & focus on a small soul "doing its thing" - just like this tiny snail,quietly drinking from raindrops on a leaf. Nature's reboot.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐌

Did u know? It's fab when you take time to get to know the routines of the small souls who share your outside space & realise that they're so much like us with their rituals. This lovely Wood Pigeon visits the same bit of guttering every day to drink - we're not the only creatures of habit. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐦‍⬛

Did u know? On milder days, you'll still see pollinators on the wing, so it's a fab idea to have something in flower all year-round. These Fatsia japonica are in full bloom now (not indigenous, but hey-ho) and my wonderful wasps are taking full advantage of their lovely nectar rich blooms. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲

Did u know? This is what my wildlife garden looks like in winter. Stalks, stems, seed heads & leaves are all left to shelter small souls until the warmer weather returns. This isn't a mess, this is nature's quiet time where life rests & prepares to renew for the next season. Believe in brown 🤎 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍
