The bird food from Laverock Hall Bird Food is that good the birds are squabbling over it!

Often overlooked the Starling can be very vocal at this time of year and their oily iridescence colours change depending on the angle you capture them at.

Next time you see one in your garden, have a closer look.

It’s hedgehog 🦔 awareness week. Which reminded me of this amazing work by Captured in Pencil

I haven’t actually seen any hedgehogs in the garden this year which is a little concerning.

Have you seen any this year?

A few more from the weekend. It took me a while to find the warbler!

Another newbie in the garden. A male and female Siskin have just started visiting. The male has a ring on it's leg, which I'll try and identify over the coming days if they stay.

Here's Mr Siskin!

A pair of Greenfinches are regular garden visitors, however they always prove difficult to capture and never stay for long. This morning I was lucky enough to grab this shot.

Following on from the hedgehog 🦔 photo. One of my squirrel images has been selected by Captured in Pencil. It’s one of 5 squirrels which has been selected by this amazing artist.

Please take time to visit the page and check out the wonderful work and watch the progress.

The third red squirrel photo I will be using for my 'Reds in Grey' series of drawings, a lovely face on shot provided by Leon Savage Photography. Fantastic detail in the face and body, with a nice soft tail in the background. It's going to make for an interesting drawing ;)

Amazing work by Captured in Pencil using my hedgehog 🦔 photo for reference. Please visit their page and check out the amazing work.

I'm going to need a name for this chap, any ideas? I was thinking something like snug hog but not too sure. Thats the spine layers mapped out, time to add some detail to them ;) (Progress 7 of 10)
