In my last post, I promised that I would put up some of the pictures I have taken since I started re-wilding my garden. I apologise that there are so many but to be honest, this is just a small sample of the hundreds that I have taken. Because of the number of pictures, I am going to leave this as a predominantly ‘picture post’ apart from captions. I hope you enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed looking at some of my garden wildlife pictures – I’m sure there will be plenty more to come 🙂 ! And I hope these two posts will encourage you to adapt your own garden, no matter how small, into a wildlife friendly space. Our wildlife really needs all the help we can give it, and, lets face it, it repays that help a hundredfold in the pleasure and enjoyment we get!
I should add that I have done my best to correctly identify all the bugs, bees etc but if you spot any errors, please do let me know 🙂 !
Thanks for stopping by
Until next time,

Some wonderful images. You have inspired us to re-wild at least part of our garden.
Ah, thanks so much John 🙂
Wow, did you take these photos with a camera?
Yes, I did Trish. I have a macro lens that enables me to take close up shots 🙂
Lovely photos, have you experienced the lack of insects this spring as so many have reported?i
Thanks Philip. To be honest, I think in my garden, insects increase as my re-wilding ‘matures’, but overall I’d say numbers are down. Having said that, I walked over the downs near Cerne Abbas yesterday and there were literally hundreds of butterflies, demoiselles, dragon flies, grasshoppers, and all sorts of other bugs. I wished I had had my camera/macro lens with me.
Thanks, that’s interesting, The Cerne Abbas downs are a rich place for wildlife. The decline noted this year elsewhere seems to be very patchy.
The interesting thing is that whilst I have been taking loads of pictures of bugs over recent weeks, I have only seen one butterfly (a gatekeeper) in the garden.
Great photos 🙂
