30 Days Wild 2022 - Day 1 - Our Garden Birds

 

 I first did 30 Days Wild in 2015 when it all began but have lost touch with getting to do Nature inspired activities on a daily basis over the last few years due to ill health. This year though, I am going to try and do something for each day in June again even if it is just watching the behaviour of a fly for 5 minutes.

 

 I am going to start with a quick and easy one as I had to stay in for a boiler service so spent some time with the birds that visit our garden.

 I'll begin with the current creche attendees. At the moment we have 9 or 10 juvenile Starlings along with 2 juvenile Blackbirds, a couple of juvenile House Sparrows and a juvenile Pied Wagtail.

The rest of the garden's visitors.

So Long Tulloch......Day 12

 Our last morning waking up at Tulloch Farm. It was so good to be back and we had absolutely amazing time.It really is a magical place to stay, with the most wonderful hosts.The perfect base from which to explore the Highlands with all it's splendour and magnificent Wildlife.

We couldn't leave without saying a last goodbye to Shadow, Neville and Georgie and of course to those wonderful hosts(friends) Margo & Robert.

If you want to know more about the farm, their website link is below.Just don't all book it at once so I can't get back in 😉

 We weren't driving all 7 hours back to Lincolnshire today as we were going to 'overnight it' in Stirling. It meant we could take our time and stop along the way to admire the scenery, especially as our route home took us through Glencoe to Crianlarich and Callander.

 We continued on to Callander as it is always a nice place to stretch your legs and browse the shops. Little did we know that there was a race on and the place was busier than we've ever seen it.The main car park was full, mainly of runner's and stewards so we had to park along the river. At least it meant that it wasn't far to look for birds.

 A Robin sang for us and a couple of Jackdaws looked at us in anticipation of food and on the water there were Mute Swans, Mallards and Goosanders.

 Arriving at our final stop, Stirling Travelodge we settled in for the night and thought of the fantastic wildlife we had seen during our last 11 days in the Highlands. Tomorrow we would be back in Lincolnshire.
