Dragonflies in the garden!

Another new visitor to our garden, a Common Darter dragonfly and male Common Blue Damselfly, we have had a couple now.
need to sort some more tubs of wild flowers out for next year.

More Birds in the GARDEN!!!

There seems to be an increase in birds visiting the garden (or just overhead) this year.
We have seen:

Young Sparrows
Young Blue Tits
Robin
Blackbirds
Wood Pigeon
Magpies
Goldfinch
The odd Bat at dusk
Swifts high above the garden.

The main thing is there seems to be more of them which is good. We have been trying to attract more birds for a long time and it looks like it may pay off. We have never had sparrows in the garden, what we have seen though are loads on the other side of the road.

We shall be keeping a close eye on what goes on.

Swifts Return

Nice to see the Swifts have returned for Summer above the garden.
