"Mock Orange (Philadelphus) in full bloom. 🤍 Originally from my neighbour's garden, it sent roots beneath the fence and found a home on my side too. Nature doesn't pay much attention to property lines."

Red kite

“Red Kite in flight - Northampton, UK 🇬🇧

Once driven to near extinction in Britain, the Red Kite has made one of the UK’s greatest conservation recoveries thanks to successful reintroduction programmes. Now recognised by its graceful flight and deeply forked tail, these birds are becoming a familiar — yet still breathtaking — sight across our skies.

Captured from my garden, proving wildlife moments can appear when you least expect them.”

Small garden spaces can still make a big difference for wildlife.”Photo which I have taken from my garden.
