Wildlife in the Gardens

Key holders visiting the gardens will appreciate the calming atmosphere while walking through the gardens. Perhaps wondering about the changes in the trees and shrubs through the different seasons in the year. 

We were shown by a key holder, who with permission, put up a couple of new bird feeders in the gardens and quickly found the usual birds coming to feed, but surprisingly captured a lovely picture of a perhaps less frequent visitor. 

This is a picture of a Nuthatch (Sitta Europaea). Occurrence - breeds in most of Europe except Iceland, northern UK, northern Scandinavia, and southern Spain. Occupies mixed and deciduous woodland, parkland and large gardens, with big old trees all year round. and rarely moving far. Hopefully this will mean it will be seen more regularly in the gardens.

We wonder what other wildlife keyholders and friends have seen?  If you have managed to capture any pictures, do not hesitate to share at email address - qsge (at) royalscotsclub (dotcom).
