Amy and I have really been enjoying watching Springwatch on tv this last week. We've been following the progress of all the baby birds and badgers and we've been looking round our own patch to see what we can see. There is a family of dunnocks nesting in the clematis and in our nest box we've had great tits who have just fledged. This little chap wasn't sure about flying to begin with but by the end of the day he joined his brothers and sisters up in the tree.
We also spotted a lovely big fat frog and there's definite evidence that the hedgehogs are very busy at night in the undergrowth. I don't yet have any pictures but they've been eating the food we've left out each night and our new hedgehog box has had lots of leaves pulled into it.
Lastly, there was this little chap.
I've been thinking about a mole for ages and he's my prototype. I have a few tweaks planned but hope to have some moles ready for Etsy soonish.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
