Remembering an enjoyable walk back from Piel Island

Taking cover in the hedgerow

Crocus preparing to flower on the wildlife friendly banking

Trimming sections of the edging on the wildlife area at Green Heart Den

Coltsfoot flowering on the wilder areas at the Green Heart Den

Turnstone down at the shoreline

Making the mini beast hotels

Trimming grasses on the wilder areas of the Green Heart Den

Helping to maintain the wilder area; trimming and thinning out grasses which will allow more space and more light for the wildflowers to establish themselves. The majority of work in this area is conducted with care not to disturb the surface and usually undertaken outside of the time when common lizards and slow worms are active which reduces the risk of accidental injury as they are protected in the UK under the wildlife and countryside act 1981

Care is also taken to avoid any flowering plants such as crocus

Looking forward to calmer weather and getting out on the bike again

Long tailed little birds

Remembering that time the rabbits were rescued from a delivery of gravel

A variety of wildlife on my doorstep

Looking forward to the common lizards and slow worms emerging from hibernation

Snow drops in the undergrowth, hopefully a sign of warmer weather to come

Not spotted the wood mice for some time, hopefully they are just hiding

Look forward to spotting a few more hedgehogs this year

One of my favourite visitors to the community garden - Orinoco the barn owl
