| | | hello
hi, I'm a new member, I found this exciting website and forum by accident just hoping to find a site to identify some Fungi, moths and caterpillars for my own website. I've been here hours, today engrossed at the amazing photos and have thankfully found most of the ID's I was after.
I doubt now I will need to look elsewhere when I have a query.
I have a tiny back yard which I've turned into a wildlife friendly garden over the last few years.A few months back decided to have a website to show that living in a urban area with very little space, no trees or lawn does not mean that people cannot attract wildlife.

Certainly urban gardens are underrated and, if managed properly, can be a major conservation resource. If you have photos of unidentified organisms ten please show them! Good luck and welcome! |

Warmest greetings Goosey and welcome indeed.
I too have turned my garden in a wildlife haven (when I moved to my house it was an absolute mess!!), having planted willow, hazel, lavender, grapevine, budleigha etc. The ladybirds love the willow, the bees, moths, butterflies and other insects love the lavender and budleigha. I have visitors checking out the lavender and budleigha everyday during the summer and what a delight it is to see them. The blackbirds, wrens, sparrows, blue tits etc check out the grapevine and other berry bushes. I've even had foxes and squirrels come to visit. Hoping the honeysuckle will do something as well next year.
Keep up the good work and enjoy WAB.

Hello goosey - I've just taken a look at your website, which gives a lovely impression of what may be achieved in such a small, apparently urban space. Well done. Keep up the good work, and do keep in touch with WAB.
