May - June 2009 Springwatch at Pollywiggle



With BBC filming Springwatch just a few miles away at Pensthorpe, the garden at Pollywiggle also has plenty to offer any nature enthusiast. Each year two little flycatchers return, probably from as far away as Africa, to build their nest in the wisteria to raise their brood. Here the hen is peeping out - beautifully camouflaged - keeping her a nest full of eggs warm. The whole garden is humming with the busy comings and goings of not just many different birds but frogs, bees, butterflies and of course pollywiggles!
