    Following on from the amount of wildlife and regular garden visitors that members have, I've started this topic so we can share our pictures.
    I'll get the ball rolling with this little wren that I photographed sitting on the wheel of the old bike in my garden. [​IMG]

    What a cutie Petal and a lovely picture - was this last years fledgling? They are really special birds, and their song belies their small stature :D

    Did you buy them Nathan, or did they appear on their own accord.

    Pete,

    I think the abundance of Black Fly helped ... but no, didn't buy them.

    Will be getting a Ladybird house, so they can overwinter though ;) .
