I thought I would post a couple of photos which I took in the summer in my Grandma's garden. I completely forgot about these few photos, and it was only until recently that I came across them again. Her garden was really colourful at the time, and the flowers were all out. In the summer sun, it looked brilliant...
As you can see from the photos, the flowers look stunning. They were on an arch at the end of the garden. The bees were loving them too. I think these are the only real decent photos I have taken of the bees. Sometimes, it is only when you look at the photos on the computer that you realise if the photo is any good. I'm not sure of the ID of the flowers, so any help on that would be great.
Its difficult to imagine what her garden looks like now in the autumn, without the bright colours which we saw in the summer. Because of the time of year, not much bird life was to be seen around her garden, except a few Dunnocks and Woodpigeons. Maybe the birds have started to visit her feeders again now that the days are cooler and shorter.
At home, we have really seen a lot of action on the bird feeders recently, and we have had to fill them up very regularly. Hopefully, our camera nestbox will be re-located to the end of the garden soon in case we get any roosting Blue or Great Tits as the weather gets cooler. I may soon talk of a certain visitor to our garden shed recently too.
It was quite strange to see such a large group of them, even on a rainy night. It was hard to avoid standing on them as they were all on the garden path. Some of them had some really interesting colours too.
