Old Moor

We're creating a wildlife garden at our Old Moor nature reserve in the Dearne Valley, South Yorkshire. Follow the garden's progress and see what comes to visit! We'll also be bringing you the latest news from the reserve. 

Our handsome intruder returns...

We are so used to hearing positive feedback that news of a digruntled family worried me terribly.

I was making my way to one of our hides when I heard quite a commotion in the hedgerow to my right. The cause of the unrest turned out to be a family of wrens who were clearly unhappy about something. On closer inspection the 'something' turned out to be our friend the weasel! Obviously the wrens weren't so pleased about the visitor but the 'handsome intruder' soon got the message and went on his way.

As the Autumn draws in it's likely that you'll see more and more birdlife in your gardens, with any luck some wrens will be among them. Perhaps start having a think about what you can feed them as food becomes more and more scarce in the winter. With exactly on month till Feed the Birds Day with the RSPB it's time to start stocking up on seeds to attract visitors old and new...
