Louise, Ffiona and ? on 20/12/21
It was a cold, dull day at the end of December. We noticed bulbs beginning to break through the soil in the Jenkinson Garden – a welcome sign of the Spring to come.
Today a climbing rose had just been planted against pergola – the planting of the Jenkinson Garden is almost complete!
We spotted some hazel nut shells beneath the box tree – were they nibbled by rodents, or squirrels? And an interesting rotting tree trunk.
All leaves have fallen from all deciduous trees – but we spotted some buds on a beech tree.
We saw some fungi.
…and some rodent hole and mole hills.
We spotted carvings on this beech tree dating back to 1862!
And plants in flower – Periwinkle, dandelion, rose.
On our walk we saw: Song thrush, Mistle thrush, Robin, Wren, Blackbirds, Blue tits, a Mute swan, Mallards, a Nuthatch and a Jay.
