Lovely to welcome the wonderful author, naturalist and birder, Stephen Moss to #GwylltHollow today. Weather was a bit wet and wild but he had the full tour! 😁

I was trying to work out what was attacking my Buddleia. Then I spotted this stunning caterpillar. It is the larvae of the mullein moth. The caterpillar is amazing to look at … the adult less so….. I haven’t seen any mullein in the garden so they had to settle for a Buddleia!

After a week of wet and wind, the garden has exploded, fallen over and become tangled and chaotic! I’m gently teasing some of it back into order and in other areas I embrace the wild abandon of foliage! It’s a full time job keeping on top of this place at this time of year!

I saw this blackboard on the ā€˜Free Bench’ in my village …. thought it would be good for a species board for my workshop. Bought some chalk paints and ā€˜Voila’!! šŸ˜ I’ve always dreamt of having a workshop…. I just love it!

I fill my patio pots with nectar rich flowers, rather than ā€˜traditional’ bedding plants which often have little for pollinators. As we move into summer it is buzzing with insects……. ā¤ļøšŸ˜šŸšŸ¦‹

Muddy noses and smudged lenses…. When filming badger cubs, it’s pretty much guaranteed that they will investigate the camera….. youtu.be/bZCsdAkWxOg?si…

My first try at filming with the DJI Neo…. Super easy to use. I’m hoping to bring you some cool tours of #GwylltHollow with this cool gadget!! youtu.be/EOli7x6rA74?si…

The meadow that borders my garden is looking stunning! Lots of orchids, yellow rattle and eye bright at the moment. The latter two are both parasitic on the roots of grasses, helping to keep vigorous grasses at bay and allowing other wildflowers to flourish 😁

Welcome to Jurassic Park……… well, the #GwylltHollow quarry! We have had a lot of rain the last few days and the quarry pool is now looking very like the vision I had in my mind, when I cleared this area and aimed to create a better habitat for wildlife…..

Last year, my fruit and veg growing attempts were rather disappointing. This year, things are looking better. I’m not self-sufficient yet, but I’m learning fast and loving it! Picking fresh fruit for my lunch brings me much joy ā¤ļøā¤ļø

This day, 2 yrs ago I came and viewed this house and land and fell in love instantly! I had sold my house in Lichfield and decided to follow my dream, to have more land and live in a more rural landscape. It was the best decision I have ever made. Life is not a rehearsal ā¤ļø
