Since having the allotment our interest in the various wildlife that we've encountered has increased. Naturally, once you start noticing the different beasties it's just a small step to investigating further...
As a result I have created a new blog about the wildlife on the Marsh Lane site (not only, but mostly, on our plots). The blog contains photos and information about the creatures we're living alongside. I have identified what I can and include links to some of the brilliant sites which have proved invaluable in trying to work out how I should feel about seeing some of the creatures!
I'll continue to mention wildlife in this main Plot7 blog but Plot7Wildlife will have more details and photos.
Pay a visit, follow, link and comment as you see fit :-) I welcome any comments, advice or corrections!

Your photos are so good. What a great idea. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Belinda. Most of our wildlife is interesting to watch and study. I might just pinch your idea for my blog. I unearthed 1 particularly nasty beastie yesterday, down the plot and posted the photograph yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's handy to have all the beastie pics in one place. Or maybe two places Rooko!
ReplyDeleteI saw your worm pic -ugh!!

I think gardening and a keen interest in wildlife are a natural fit - I include our garden wildlife on my allotment blog too. Then I have a more detailed write up on my website which is linked from the blog. A bit similar to your way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue.
ReplyDeleteI didn't copy :-) but have had a look at your site/blog.
It's interesting to compare sites as you're in Yorkshire and we're in Berkshire.
