Our Normanby garden

We have a small south facing garden which we have turned over to nature.  We have created a wildlife pond and have 7 bird boxes strategically placed with several bird feeding stations.   Each year our bird boxes are keenly battled for by the Blue Tits, Great Tits and Tree Sparrows.  We are currently in competition with my brother Nick on who can record the most species seen in or from the garden - it is really a north/south battle as we live in the north and he lives in the south.  The competition runs until the end of the year and I feel we are currently thrashing him with a total of 42 so far - his total remains a mystery!!
