Your garden appears to be an absolute haven for wildlife. Can you give us an insight into how you achieved this? Beautiful footage!

[@MauriceBaker100]

+Emily Tray , Thank you Emily for very kind comments. At the moment I am making a feature length video of about an hour long titled "The Changing Seasons in a Wildlife garden", and filmed in my own garden. This may give you some idea of what goes into making a garden that is attractive to wildlife.

2:45 what are they eating from the log Maurice?

[@MauriceBaker100]

+3enjoy3 They will eat all sorts of things, seed, insects and buds at different times of the year. They are actually eating sunflower hearts from the log and they come into the garden for these all year round.

My favourite garden bird but have never seen one only on video

[@alistair5101]

what tree is the one with the berries called ? beautiful video :)

[@MauriceBaker100]

+Lilia lyod Thank you Lilia for your kind comment. The berries are on small trees of the species know as Rowan or Mountain-ash and are a member of the genus Sorbus. They make excellent garden tree with their berries for the birds and very colourful leaves in the autumn.

[@marss1934]

Do you know if there is any diffference between Rowan and Mountain-ash?

[@MauriceBaker100]

+Mars S No they are both the same spices, the rowan and mountain ash are both common names for the same member of the Sorbus family, spices Sorbus aucaparia. Although it is called the mountain ash it is not related to our common true ash. Plant nurseries will often list them as Sorbus aucaparia (mountain ash/rowan)
