Yesterday evening I noticed a hedgehog walking around the garden on the hunt for food… It came across a frog hidden in the undergrowth and pulled it out into the open. For quite some time the hog pulled the frog about and tried to chew on it. On Inspection amazingly the frog appeared to suffer no injuries. After the hog had given up and walked off the frog made it’s way to the safety of the pond.

I managed to capture the whole thing on video… Check it out on the UKGW YouTube channel…. Follow the videos link above..

About a week ago a little Robin started to show an interest in what I was doing in the green house. So I threw a few meal worms out. I started dropping the worms closer and close until they were within a foot of where I was sitting. So I took advantage of this and managed to get some very nice close up still shots…

A worm in payment for a picture..

Over the course of the week I started to hold out my arm with a few worms in my hand.. The persistence paid off and on Sunday the Robin took the worms from my hand for the first time. Now when I go out into the garden the Robin is waiting for me. Today it actually started to fly around me before I even had a chance to get the meal-worms out.

I managed to shoot some footage of the little fella feeding from my hand.. You can see a small clip on the UKGW YouTube video channel.

Some of you have emailed me about the two feeds that are down… This is just temporary while I do some maintenance with the feeds and within the garden.. I should have them back up soon.
