Here are just a few photos I have taken over the past week in my garden.
I looked out of one of the bedroom windows early in the morning and saw this muntjac resting under our hedge.
We have had large congregations of geese in the field behind the house.
Another picture taken from an upstairs window of two graylags and two mallards feeding under the birdtable. The birdtable is leaning a bit because of the high winds we have had and also because twenty or more rooks descend on it early in the morning and their weight causes it to list.
The greylags have started laying eggs on the island.
A couple of photos of the greylags swimming on the pond.
Some early daffodils.
And some rather stunted hyacinths.
Some miniature daffodils.
Some cuddling, sunbathing chickens. The cockerel forced himself inbetween the hens to get the warmest place. The hens didn’t seem to mind – just look at their faces!
A bluetit hiding in the hedge.
And a lovely sunset.

Does the muntjac eat everything in sight?

Yes it does! My husband and I get quite disheartened at times. We have to resort to chicken wire round everything which is so ugly. Treeguards help to protect some of our trees, but shrubs and bushes have to take their chances. I’m trying to think, at the moment, how to protect my bergenia flowers when they appear! I noticed today that my husband’s hydrangea had been nibbled overnight. We also have rabbits, moles, voles, mice, hares, pigeons, pheasants, red lily beetle – you name it we’ve got it!
