Catching up with posting on 30 Days Wild

Taking a closer look

Day 10 – 30 Days Wild – Pied wagtail fledglings

Great to watch a couple of Pied wagtail fledglings hopping from roof top to roof top being fed

One of the fledglings was getting pretty hot sat in the sun and was ‘gular fluttering’ which is a bird’s version of panting.

Day 9 – 30 days Wild- Light

Light through the leaves

Day 8 – 30 Days Wild – Grey Squirrel

Another 30 Days Wild and another visitor to the garden

Day 7 – 30 Days Wild – Muntjac

After eating the leaves off the lower branches of the apple tree the Muntjac decided to have a sniff around the pond to see if anything had dropped down from the bird feeders.

We often get Muntjac in the garden but normally after dark or in the early hours of the morning, quite a surprise to see this young deer on the camera late afternoon

Our No Mow May has now stretched in to Let It Bloom June

Day 6 – 30 Days Wild – Beetle

Saw a number of these beetles on our hazel hedge in the front garden today. I think they are Alder leaf beetles as I’ve read they like hazel too.

Day 5 – 30 Days Wild – Goldfinch

Spotted this Goldfinch collecting dog hair off the lawn for its nest.

Photos aren’t great as I didn’t want to risk scaring it away by opening the door.

Day 4 – 30 Days Wild – Tree slug?

I’d be really interested to know if this is a Tree Slug – Lehmannia marginata, or just a slug climbing a tree
