Great British Garden Revival

It was laying on its back by river gate with feet in air.

 

[saleen 192]

Well the river is flowing now we have had a bit of rain but still low.

 

[TransAmDan]

Why the gate on the river? Stop sharks going up stream?

 

[saleen 192]

Lol, stop cattle coz when river gets back to normal there are some deep areas, the farmer had put up some pallets yes some pallets don't ask i don't know why but these have been knocked down, also as river runs through different fields which belong to different farmers they try and stop cattle,

[chris68coupe]

Here we are, 18th November and I have Bees and a Butterfly in the garden!

 

[chris68coupe]

New visitor today.....

Sorry for the poor quality but he wasn't still or even there very long. Pretty sure its a Redwing, migratory bird possibly from Scandinavia.

 

[saleen 192]

Agree all the birds in termoil ref migration but is nice to see them. Lucky you had camera to hand

 

[chris68coupe]

According to my RSPB book of British birds some stay here between October and March. So, not too far out of sync.

 

[saleen 192]

Got you thinking tho lol.

 

[renchero]

something has been digging up my garden i have not seen it so have no idea what. i have lots of little holes like this all over it my guess somebody is looking for there dinner.

 

[saleen 192]

Strange not mole hills lumps. Rats mybe do you live near water? Vole mink mybe

 

[chris68coupe]

If you havan't seen the critters they are probablly nocturnal. Maybe Badgers or even Hedgehogs, both like to eat worms and bugs etc., and also like to dig. Foxes tend to forage rather than dig but can't rule them out.

 

[renchero]

not moles,only water is my pond that's raised out of the ground about 2 foot i have never seen Badgers or Hedgehogs but there are foxes in the area. must be small as it does not set off the outside light. [the late dannydog did] nearly forgot did get a visit from a dear once

 

[saleen 192]

River starting to freezer over and the peskie moles are back

 

[TransAmDan]

Moles would be better off stopping off underground, atleast they wont freeze down there.

Will the ice get thick enough to walk over the river?

 

[chris68coupe]

Just heard but not seen an Owl very close to me. First one around here for 5 or 6 years.

 

[saleen 192]

Yes nice to here the owl and sometimes see it as well wake up in mornings and here it if am outside getting ready for work in the dark you some see it fly over and sometimes at night as well.
