Wildlife at the Window
You don't even need to leave the sofa...
Fill the bird feeders and flocks of small birds will swoop down right in front of the window.
All the regular garden birds can be seen from the cottage window plus some less common visitors such as Nutchatch, Bullfinch and Yellowhammer.
Buzzards can be seen soaring over the cottage, and the Woodpecker frequently visits if there are nuts in the feeders.
At night you may hear the call of Tawny Owls close by.
