Saltaire Wildlife


The garden is now looking more like a tropical rainforest at the moment with palm trees and tree ferns a plenty. Since we've remodelled the garden there's been a noticeable increase in the wildlife staying with us.

Recent contributions includes Frogs, Dragon Flies and a Family of Mapies living in the hedge. The new find this afternoon was a baby starling living in the bamboo next to the pond.

I was gardening and pulled up a weed next to our feathered friend and didn't notice her until she opened her mouth for food and chirped. I screamed like a girl and fell over thinking (for some strange reason) that it was a rat!!???. I have issues....
