I was wondering why it had been so quiet on my feeders today..... then I discovered why! I just happened to be at my desk and saw this sparrowhawk take a greenfinch. It must have been hanging around today, hence the lack of visitors! 😱 #GwylltHollow

Noticing nature is good for you. It doesn’t have to be big landscapes and dramatic views….. How exquisite is the dew on this moss…….?!

Viewings are picking up and you can check them out YouTube Channel! 😁 Will the nuthatches nest again? 🤞🤞

It’s amazing what you can grow in a polytunnel! I only planted these cat seeds a few days ago!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #TeaselCat

Turn your volume up! What bird is making this call??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Just sunbathing with my crocs 🤣🤣

Another garage port find! Anyone know what this tool is for? What is the function of the middle orange bit? 🤔🤔 #GwylltHollow

Totally insane here at ⁦⁦Glastonbury Festival⁩ ! Up on the hill, ready for fireworks….

I will have to charge for this vandalism .... some potential tenants of this furnished apartment have taken a dislike to some of the decorations. Instead of letting me know, they decided to remove it themselves! 😱😯 #GwylltHollow

When deciding on your next property, it is always important to have a good look around.......

First they remove my lovely , carefully placed decor. Now, they are moving in their own ornaments and ramming them into my nice shelves...... Do nuthatches have no respect for a furnished apartment?!😱😂 Soon to be live streaming on my website! #GwylltHollow #Nestenders2024

I didn't really feel that my furnished apartment needed re-plastering. The nuthatches feel differently. I wouldn't generally expect to re-plaster shelves... and do they have an issue with my choice of picture???? What's next?😲😂 #GwylltHollow #Nuthatches

Today, my beautiful speckledy hen, Celendine, &amp; my gorgeous cockerel, Comfrey, were killed by 3 dogs who rampaged through my garden. So glad Teasel &amp; Wren were indoors. I know them all individually &amp; I’m traumatised and heartbroken. Please keep dogs under control around gardens.

Teasel keeps going in Wren’s bed, so I put her bed close by…… not quite what I had meant to happen! 🤣🤣🤣 #TeaselCat and Wren

Fascinating behaviour that I have never seen before! This male wren is displaying to the female, calling her to check out his walking boot nest that he has created for her! What fabulous little birds! #GwylltHollow RSPB RSPB Cymru WildlifeTrustSWWales 🦡🐬 BBC Springwatch

Goodbye sweet girl 💔 Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my dear Teasel after she was killed on the road near my home. I am heartbroken and she will leave a big hole in our lives. I buried her in my meadow and a new bench will mark the spot. Loved you so much sweet Teasel 💔

I'm excited to announce that the Sitting Room Nuthatches are now live streaming on my website! You can watch and follow their progress &amp; their redecorations!! It's going to be really interested as I have never filmed this species before!

When I removed the avacado shower tray from the old caravan, I thought it would make a good wildlife waterhole outside the new hide. Surprisingly easy to do and the plug means it can be emptied easily. I’m actually really chuffed with this 😍

I built a bench over Teasel’s grave in my meadow. A place where Wren and I can sit and think of her. I will surround it with Teasels for the bees in Summer and birds in Autumn. A fitting tribute to such a special girl 💔❤️

This swallow, having travelled all the way from Africa, checks out the nest cup from last year. It just blows my mind that it has travelled so far, to come back to this precise location at #YewView. I hope they manage to raise several broods here this year. RSPB

Our fabulous nutty nuthatches and the tawny owls will be appearing on BBC 1, 6 o’clock news tonight, just before the weather! Watch out for them … and me 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #GwylltHollow

At #YewView, we have a wildlife pond and the kingfisher is visiting regularly. Sometimes, he uses this perch when he has caught something. The snow was the icing on the cake, to really highlight the beauty of this bird!😍🥰

I think I should have specified how many individuals this tenancy allowed... this space is is going to need a complete overhaul after this rabble of nuthatch ninjas have moved out! 😲🤣 #GwylltHollow #Nuthatches

When I took on some rescue hens last year from @freshstart4hens , they looked pretty sad. This is the reality of life for many chickens, bred to produce eggs and then slaughtered at a young age😢 A year on…… now look at them!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

… and the award for the splashiest bath this week goes to……. The European Jay!!!!!

It’s busy in my Bee Plaza today! Do you know what is happening though? I made a series of videos explaining and showing you how to make your own bee habitat. Check them out here: #BeeDay #SolitaryBees
