Put some hair in a corner of your garden and watch small birds help themselves during the nesting season. Below is a short clip of a great tit picking some lovely nesting materials with my husband's newly cut hair.
Child-friendly blog showing my own pictures and/or video clips of wild animals, pets but very little on kids

Cute baby rabbits
Here are a selection of pictures taken from a window into our garden. These wild rabbits are very young and only just allowed to venture outside by themselves. Enjoy!

Thieving squirrels don't like apple skin
My apple tree produced so many apples last autumn that I was able to store a lot of them in the shed and would throw a couple a day out for the birds to feed on.
Black birds, field fares, robins, mag pies, crow and blue tits are all the birds that I saw eat the apples (in order of frequency, black birds being the most frequent feeders).
But, there was another animal that also enjoyed my apples. It was funny to notice that squirrels don't like apple skin and spit it out to eat the flesh inside.
The only problem with squirrels is that they are really greedy and steal the apples away as soon as they are small enough to carry.
