Apart from the rabbit, which I am hoping I will manage to transfer out of the garden so I can plant out my plants safely without them being its dinner, I love seeing wildlife in the garden. I have managed to take a few videos which I will share. First of all, a red squirrel:
Whilst I was gardening, the blackbird was having a forage in the compost heap:
Those of you who have read earlier posts will know that I do a regular hunt around the garden to remove New Zealand flatworms (which eat native earthworms). They rest during the day under anywhere dark and damp. I disturbed a whole nest of field mice and was not quick enough to video them all, but one seemed unaware of the dangers of sitting out in the open and was undisturbed by my taking out my phone to video him/her having a wash! This is quite a long video but it seems a shame to shorten it. There's a photo if you don't want to use data to watch the video.
