Lovely to open my January copy of Gardeners' World Magazine and see the first of my nature series, starting with making fat cakes to attract birds to the garden. Not long now until the Big Garden Birdwatch...

They rock away like dumpy wooden arks, their long, compass needle bills never wavering from the earth they quickly return to. Above me, the peregrine falcon flies … Continue reading Nature Not […]
