We are not the only ones busy in the garden

Long tailed tit



These small and lively birds have been busy constructing their intricate and delicate nest in one of the hedges. The nests are made of moss and lichen and held together using spiders webs before being lined with feathers.
Common frogs have also been busy spawning with spawn in both of our ponds, although not a much as in previous years according to Jon this no doubt reflects the country wide decline in the uk's only frog species.
Why not let us know what's been busy in your garden, do you have any early nesters such as blackbirds or robins? Or do you have a pond which is helping our amphibians be they frogs, toads or newts.
