Stoat on the 'stoatitat' built to try and attract a stoat 🎉

It's a lovely pile of old logs (we try to avoid removing any dead material from site). There are plenty of hidey holes under here.

The stoat uses the ditch to travel between the North and South garden, which is exactly what the otter did and exactly why we wanted to open up the garden and remove the mesh fence that was keeping wildlife out!

They are super fast so hard to capture on film. You know it is a stoat because its tail isn't fully deep brown, it's half pale brown with a slightly fluffy dark brown tip.

Watch right to the end - you see it again!

A little walk through the gravel garden. I think this might be my favourite season with the grasses and other prairie style planting. It won’t need much watering once it’s established (it’s still less than a year old) and we collect water around the site too so it’s perfect for the changing climate. There are so many bees and butterflies still around. Do you like it?

Autumn Colour

The garden is still looking glorious! In fact, I think Autumn might just be my favourite month here.

It is still full of butterflies and bees and the drought tolerant planting, with plenty of grasses and long-flowering perennials are still looking great. Aster Monch, Persicaria Darjeeling Red and Verbena Bonariensis have all flowered for a particularly long time.

It's not even been a year yet since we first started planting the beds. Can you believe it!

A final call also for my online course this Wednesday night. If you are planning to over-winter hedgehogs, it's the last chance to learn this year - message me for details. I still have a small number of places left....

I run lots of different hedgehog courses, all aimed at different levels of knowledge and experience. Many people join me for all of them and even join the same course again as a refresher. You receive the presentation and video the day after the course to watch again at your leisure and I provide plenty of individual follow up support for all your questions.

You'll find more info and details in the comments.

I hope to see you on Wednesday!

Poor little ginger man is recovering after another set of tooth extractions but at least his problems aren’t caused by a tumour 🧡
