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.

Gold finch


I have only seen a goldfinch recently. I noticed it because I heard a birdsong that I didn’t recognise. I looked up into the tree and there it was, but only for a few seconds. It wasn’t quite on my side of the fence so it didn’t technically visit the garden. I saw one again later on in the trees behind the housing estate, which is where it was when I photographed it from the house. That’s why the picture isn’t too good – it was quite far away!
