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.

Wood pigeon – visited garden


This wood pigeon is enjoying a meal of spilled bird-food from beneath the bird table. Sometimes the wood pigeons visit in a pair and sometimes there is only one. They usually feed from the ground but I have seen them on the bird table too – it looks rather cramped for them! I have often seen one perched on the neighbour’s roof, waiting for it to be safe to come down, but often it just flies off.

Very interesting post, really informative of all the blogs I have read on the same topic, this one is actually enlightening. I was longing to read such kind of informative write-ups from a very long time good to know that such kind of posts are there to help ignorant and novice people.
