Hi from the West Country

Hi all.

I was looking to find out what the giant catapillar wandering round my garden was - and came across this forum!!!!!

I am trying to get my garden wildlife friendly, whilst keeping the neighbours happy!!!!

There are Slow Worms, toads and this year butterflies which I've not seen in our garden previously.

Hope to pick up lots of tips from you guys!!!

Steph.

Hi Steph and welcome to the forum.

I am sure the knowledgable members on here will be able to identify your catapillar for you.

Good luck with the wildlife friendly garden, I think there are a number of threads on here on that subject for tips.

Re: Hi from the West Country

Hi Steph, you have some great wildlife in your garden already, and you will be able to learn lots of ways to attract more. Once you get the insects by "wildlife friendly" planting everything else will follow! Welcome to WAB .

Morning Steph,
Welcome to the best wab site on the world wide wab. Hope all goes well with the wildlife garden. You never know while keeping the neighbours happy you might be able to convert them as well.
