 | Garden WildlifeWe moved to Bispham, Blackpool in Spring 2004. The garden at our new home was very neglected & initially we got few birds visiting. We put up several bird feeders as soon as we moved in & as I also enjoy gardening I started to plant shrubs & small trees to provide cover for birds along with plants that attract butterflies & bees - after a while the wildlife started to appear & we now get regular visits from a variety of wildlife, some of which I've photographed & you can see in my galleries. |
