Yes, we are at that point in the year where the bird nesting season is over, but the fruit is so abundant that it would be criminal to start cutting it back, and not allowing our resident wildlife to fatten up for the long haul through autumn and winter.

Mick and myself made it today and just had a general tidy around at the bird-box clearing and up towards the Drummond Road entrance. Still plenty of flowering wildflowers.

It is quite hard to remind myself that is is still officially summer until the 22nd September!! Various bees and butterflies braving the cold, too.

A quick look up and down shows how nice we are looking.

It won’t be long before all this is bare again.

Until next time.
