I have a wildlife friendly garden and I encourage all birds, bees, butterflies, frogs etc into it. Today I saw a very nervous Great Spotted Woodpecker on one of my nut feeders. He never seems to stay for long. Later on I went into my shed and found the remains of a rabbit that my big white cat had left for me. At least it wasn’t a bird. The birds have just stated on my hugh holly tree. There is never any berries left for Christmas.Just after lunch today we had a chap knocking at the door asking for the holly to make wreaths, but my husband said no, they are for the birds.
Love watching the wildlife coming into the garden to forage. Mrs Blackbird keeping another Mrs Blackbird off “her patch” quite territorial aren’t they!
I am from Malta, 4years ago we moved to England with my family and lived at my mother in law’s. We have our own house now and i finally have a garden of my own. I have put as many nectar flowering plants as i could fit in to attract insects and so attract birds. I also feed them wild birdseed, mealworms and fatballs. They are certainly enjoying my garden as i refill their food twice a day! I love my garden its my one true love
Hi
In your April 28th Issue Kris suggests plants to attract wildlife in the garden and called Acer Campestris a small tree- I planted 4 in 1980 and they are over 40 feet tall I really could not recommend them except in a very large garden. I can supply a photo if you like.
King regards

my first great-grandchild is due on 25/5/12. If I can’t make Chelsea (which has been a dream of mine for many years) then I can plant a “little Chelsea” for the new arrival.
My garden is a haven for wildlife and I’m always looking for ways to change and improve it. Amateur Gardening magazine helps me so much in their advice and articles.
