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.

Raven

I saw these more at the start of the month. You normally hear their deep cronking call before you see them, which is how I noticed the pair who visit our area. They were calling to each other and flying quite high up. I was even lucky enough to see them displaying to each other, which involves doing mid-air somersaults. They are quite acrobatic! I also saw them very near the house (for ravens) as they took off from the fields behind the housing estate.

Fantastic! I adore ravens and we often see them displaying above our house. I think they are nesting on the cliffs a mile or so away.

I wonder if they're the same pair? It's not too far between our houses as the raven flies...
