Wildlife Garden Challenge: Update 1

Well, here we are a week or so into the 'stay at home' Wildlife Garden Challenge and what a quite remarkable start.

Fifty-seven species have been recorded from 11 contributors to date. The species include 43 different birds and numerous butterflies, bumblebees, mammals, amphibians, a bat and one reptile. A great start.

You will find a list of all the species recorded and a photo collage of some of them.

In the next issue I shall send the first of six overseas reports, starting with Queensland Australia. What a contrast to our own back-yard wildlife. There are some magnificently coloured species, many of which I have never even heard of let alone seen!

Remember, all our overseas friends are in the same position as ourselves, with all of them experiencing similar restrictions to ourselves.

In the meantime, stay safe and enjoy as much time as possible doing your window and garden wildlife challenge.
