A few visitors

Our garden may still be a bland space, but it's attracting lots of visitors.

First up was next door's dog who managed to find a gap in the fence and take the opportunity to have a mad run around. However, he then made a dash for the front (we don't have a side gate yet) and straight for the road - followed in hot pursuit by our neighbour. Chicken wire seems to have solved the problem for now.

There's no keeping out the neighbourhood cats however - we've counted 5 regular visitors already. And this doesn't include our own, Freddie, who has been staying tucked up indoors while he gets used to his new home.

We've had a few squirrels, but so far birds have been limited mostly to wood pigeons and magpies. I have seen a pair of coal tits and there are other birds around. However, without binoculars, my eyesight hasn't managed to identify anything small with confidence.

Then, the other morning we were greeted by this fox

who had a good sniff around before wandering into the next garden.

Can't wait to see how much more wildlife we attract when we actually start growing things.
