GARDEN UPDATE IN SUNSHINE

The weather is finally behaving like it is spring and the wildlife seems to be back in the full swing of reproducing.

My garden’s robins may have fledged one brood, but it seems they or another pair are busy feeding another lot of youngsters nearby.

Both parents seem to know when I’ll be putting the mealworms out and have become quite tame.

The great tits nesting in the old blue tit’s nestbox are also keen on the mealworms and I’m hoping their chicks will fledge this weekend.

As for the blue tits I’m still waiting to see if they’ve nested in the third nestbox, but I’m sure they’ve chosen another place to bring up their new family.

The tadpoles and pond/rockery area is vibrant, with the young frogs developing nicely and seemingly enjoying life in a pond that is full of life, both flora and fauna.

The rest of the garden is coming to life with a big planting session planned for this weekend. Fingers crossed the vegetable, fruit, herb and flower planting will bring success throughout the spring, summer and autumn.
