Happiness is caring for everyone at Christmas

 

 

Birds

Help the birds as it's getting colder by giving them some seeds, small amounts of grated cheese, some raisins are nice, Blackbirds like these ~ and water. They feed here in the morning and late afternoon before they settle down for a sleep.

Bees

Bees are hibernating now sleeping in their ground nests or some are in hives. My bees have all been cleaned and put in a box for Spring. These are the Cocoons cleaned ~ they produced over 700 this year. They are asleep in their silk cocoons, they spun these themselves for a winters sleep.

Fox

This little fox family has been here for years.  A little treat every evening left at the rear of the garden has been enjoyed and she really loves a jam sandwich. Put some food in a posh dish one year and she ran off with it to her den no doubt. Ah well her kitchen must be really pretty!

Deer

Visiting Deer too!  Love my roses in Spring ~ but I don't mind!

They're very cheeky @TallTrees! During gardening in the summer they were loitering about waiting for me to uncover some creepy crawlies they could feast on. 

 

I was surprised how close they would come to me!

I have a robin who comes down for food all year round.  He's been very busy the last week, no doubt fattening himself up for the winter  yahoo
