Queens Park, Heywood and Spring is rolling in! Great to see all the new, green vegetation coming through but I really love the tall dead grass! What a glorious sound when a gentle breeze catches it! πŸ™‚

Cowm Reservoir, Whitworth yesterday. What a glorious, sunny Spring day. Met some friendly geese, ducks and dogs on the stroll around the reservoir and spotted a Cormorant and a Grey Heron sunbathing on the water ski ramp in the centre. So lovely to get out there again. 😊

Here’s little Mole fast asleep and snuggled up nice and cosy. Poor Mole fell down a light well, couldn’t get out and then decided to hide inside a gap in a wall. She was very hungry and dehydrated when she first came in a couple of days ago but doing well now.
Each year we get several hedgehogs that have fallen down light wells so if your house has one then please consider covering it over in some way to stop this happening.

For all my fellow nature lovers, here's the list we've been looking for! :-) x

Nectar is butterfly and bee fuel! πŸ¦‹πŸ Here are few nectar rich plants that you can plant in your garden to help them to flourish.
Did you know that painted Lady butterflies can fly for hundreds of miles on their migrations from Africa and Europe, while the huge energy demands of a flying bumblebee mean that with a full stomach they are only ever 40 mins from starvation.
Lets plant up some nectar-rich plants to keep them going!
