Hi There, It's Me!


Hi there, it's me, Wood Warbler!


I will soon fly away to the warm countries, and should be good to eat more before the flight.
I ate all Sea buckthorn berries and now I need to look for worms.

Oh, people are digging the ground near the fence.
I have to look for tasty worms here!



There is nothing...


 Ah,  here is a worm!
 
And where is the napkin?

I would prefer posing for a picture in my profile.
Now I have to clean my feathers.

I'll relax under that blackcurrant bush.
It's all, folks! Bye!

Flowers and Fruit

Mid-August, the flowers still bloom, fruit ripen, becoming juicy. 
It often rains, the sun seldom appears, the temperature is lowering.
 In my garden roses bloom the second wave, are not afraid the rain and chill.

Bluehead (Еryngium), Lobelia, Hydrangea "Lime Light", Potentilla, Stonecrop (Sedum) and Echinacea delight the eye with their colors.
 

Finally lilies and daylilies began to blossom.

High Impatiens and white dahlias grow next to the Tuya.

 

Sea buckthorn fruit also grow. These yellow berries are full of vitamins, but are sour.
 Apples grow, redden. I always wonder how can 5 or 6 apples  grow in one place of thin branch ?

Hedgehogs In The Garden


By  Angela Wybrow

 I went outside to retrieve the washing one night;
It was dark, apart from a glimmer of moonlight.
 
Suddenly, I was aware of a very strange sound.
Feeling rather worried, I began to look around.
To my surprise, I saw two hedgehogs there;
Busy searching for their food, without a care.
Gone were my former feelings of anxiety and fright;
They were swiftly replaced with joy and sheer delight.

 I stood and watched the two hedgehogs in total awe,
As I’d never been that close to a live hedgehog before.
 I had absolutely no idea that these creatures roamed,
Unseen by me, each night, so very close to our home.




I regaled the hedgehog with milk  but he did not like itThe hedgehogs went to look for other food.
