Illegal waste disposal and view of the clutch of eggs

As already shown in a short post on my Facebook page yesterday, the great tit has finally given us a view of the nest and so we could also see how many eggs are already in the nest. So far, as of 04.04, there are 6 eggs. I don’t think the final number has been […]

Interior design

After the first part of the video was more about the riot in the hedgehog house, the second part now shows you what happened afterwards. Visitors to my website may have already seen in the live stream of Hedgehog House 1 what has happened in the last 48 hours.Let me just say this much in […]

Trouble in the Hedgehog Sleeping House

In my garden there are two sleeping houses for hedgehogs.Both have remained empty this winter, at least almost empty. A small mouse had taken up residence in Hedgehog House 1.But since the day before yesterday, the hedgehog house has once again become the focus of the inhabitants for whom it is intended.And so, in the […]

The 1st egg lies in nest

Completely unnoticed, our great tit laid its first egg in the nest this morning. The great tits hide their clutch under the nesting material to protect it from possible predators. Therefore, you usually only have a chance to look at the clutch in the morning shortly after it is laid. This morning, however, she was […]

Are great tits nest predators?

Did you know? Great tits are also nest predators! What happened?On the morning of 24 March, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

First hedgehog of the 2022 season

On the evening of 02 March 2022, the first hedgehog of the season appeared.Apparently the warm daytime temperatures have caused him to slowly awaken from his hibernation.Based on his “hairstyle” I would say that this is Rambo.

Squirrel Breakfast

Two squirrels meet for breakfast together. And what do you do?Of course, they tell each other the latest stories from the neighbourhood. In the video you can hear some of the squirrels’ sounds.

Sparrowhawk lady

Today at lunchtime, the lady sparrowhawk visited again.It seems that she has now included my feeding place as a fixed “fly inn” in her daily tour of her hunting ground.Ok, there are usually a few birds to be found here. So what could be more natural than to make a regular detour to the rich […]
