    Such a rapturous little place, just a garden. I love all the lovely pictures of butterflies, they can be so fleeting. Even the reptiles are amusing. All the little lives that love your garden. The insects are all interesting as the butterflies and the birds too although harder to get the birds. Get some proper bird boxes, they'll be more numerous then. You'll also have sounds of baby birds.

    • @Croonedaway
      @Croonedaway  7 лет назад +2

      Thank you! We have got lots of birds - it's just they are very difficult to photograph! I made some boxes for the house martins according to the RSPB instructions, using a mix of saw dust and cement. They look brilliant but the ungrateful critters have totally ignored them! We also have a visiting Sparrow Hawk (in the film) who is not fussy what it eats. Even then, when I found him/her looking unwell I took him/her to the wildlife rescue - it's all part of nature!

      +Anne Engelking Wellman I just googled around and found the info on invertebrate houses similar to yours with nooks and crannies. It looks like something we should try. Thank you again for posting your lovely video.

    • @Croonedaway
      @Croonedaway  8 лет назад

      +Anne Engelking Wellman thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! The 'bug hotel' has been a great success and everyone who has seen it wants to go and build one. You just make one with whatever materials you have to hand. It's amazing what they attract - the bees are Mason bees, quite rare in the UK but thriving here. They nest in holes and seal them up with 'mortar' then they hatch the next year. Here's a link to making one of these www.rspb.org.uk/makeahomeforwildlife/advice/gardening/insects/wildlifestack.aspx

      I just had to come back to view your video again it is so lovely. The photography is the best I've seen. The only things missing though in your wonderful garden are weeds! Where do you grow your weeds ? : )
      Your lovely stand of sweet peas makes me want to try those again though the hot weather here ruins them quickly, but the fragrance near yours must be quite a memorable experience.

    • @Croonedaway
      @Croonedaway  7 лет назад +1

      Well thank you - that's really nice of you! The weeds are there mind, I just haven't done close-ups of them! And as they say - a weed is just a plant in the wrong place. We are not clinical or tidy in any way and our garden goes all out to be wildlife friendly. The new wild flower 'meadows' that used to be lawn is full of 'weeds'! I also let them run rampant in the veg patch and mix everything up - we reckon they grow better, probably because the pollinators are on hand, and it looks better. Having said all this though, we do try and keep on top of the more invasive weeds. And now I must head out there beer in hand to watch the bats....

    O my, I found a picture on the internet the other day and decided to paint it in miniature (English dollhouse scale 1:12) Just yet I learned that it is in this video! It is at 16.41 minutes. Can't show my painting here though but would love to get in touch with the owners of that garden!

    • @Croonedaway
      @Croonedaway  Год назад

      They are holes of various diameters drilled about 10cm deep which solitary bees nest in. The Mason bees cover over the entrance with mud to protect the larvae. They are amazing pollinators!
