I�m turning the back corner of my garden into a bit of a wildlife corner, it�s a work in progress and a bit of a project, but i am starting to see progress. It�s all kind of built around the shed and the budhlia that grows from behind it, and mainly focuses on the the B�s... birds, bees & butterflies.
I plan to cover the wall and rockery in the corner with lots of trailing/climbing flowers that will attract bees and butterflies, whilst hiding the rather ugly rockery. I�ve also got two bee hotels hanging nearby, which were very busy last year.
There is an assortment of bird boxes dotted around, and although I am not sure if we�ll get any nesting residents, its nice to give the birds the options. There is certainly plenty of activity, as my garden backs onto a bit of unkept grassland and plenty of open spaces & countryside.
I made this bird box/feeder out of an old teapot & teacup, which has been really popular so far.
I�ve had jays, blackbirds, sparrows, crows, magpies, jackdaws, my resident robin who never leaves and today I spotted my first tiny wren hopping about on an alpine fern.
Fingers crossed, we�ll see lots of life over the coming months.
Would love to see/hear what you�re doing for wildlife in the garden.
