Nature is beautiful. A quick look around the fields.

One of our fledging Green Woodpeckers exploring the trees around his box. I think there are three but they won't stay together so that I can count them
The Greater Spotted Woodpeckers are in the other box but no sign of young yet.

The perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. A peaceful suntrap.

Our Great Spotted Woodpecker is busy calling for a mate by short blasts of drumming. He's been at it for 3 days and has also started a second hole in his box which is in the trees at the front of the property.
Meanwhile, the Green Woodpecker is calling in the back garden and has enlarged the hole in the box out there.
Hoping for lots of young this year.

Our 3 squirrels are busy building a new drey when they already have a large one at the bottom of the cops. Why are they doing this in December? Any squirrel experts out there?

Our three resident squirrels have a large drey, in the bottom of the cops. This morning they have decided to make another in the may tree, above the bird feeders.
All 3 are working together, at high speed. No idea why the move, unless the heavy rain all day yesterday damaged their main drey. Any squirrel experts out there who can tell me?

We normally have 5 or 6 badgers visit each evening for their peanuts and eggs but last night it was 7. Wonderful to see.

Lovely tonight to see 6 badgers up together. The 3 cubs are growing so fast, it won't be long until they catch up with the adults.
