This is a blog of a garden developing from a patch of grass to a wildlife haven. You can watch the garden grow with me and learn of interesting occurences! I have been creating a garden with wildlife in mind, and I hope to encourage people to welcome wildlife back into their gardens too. If you don't have a garden, this blog can be your garden, and you may learn of things you can do to help wildlife anyway!

I am, of course, only a begginer at gardening, but I hope to learn as I go along. I will add any useful information I collect to the blog as and when I discover it.

House sparrow – visited garden

This is a male house sparrow, making use of the feeder in the tree. Sometimes I hear a gang of sparrows chirruping away in a bush. They visit to feed too – sometimes from the feeders but more usually from the ground or bird-table. I have also seen them collecting nest material. They are nesting under the apex of next-door’s garage roof, where they can be seen going in and out. A male sits on top of the apex occasionally and chirrups, as if he is saying “My house, my house!”

We very rarely get house sparrows - but I don't know why.
