HELLO

Welcome to the blog of my Wild Flower Meadow for 2015.
A bit late starting this year due to nasty persistent virus that was so difficult to eradicate.
Sadly this may be the last year I may be keeping a blog for my meadow . The house and acre of land will be going on the market in the not too distant future . The new owners may put the land back to grazing or development who knows .
I sincerely hope not.
I hope it will be as loved and nurtured as It has been since I started it in 2006
In the mean time I will endeavour to keep the blog up to date with lots of pictures showing how the plants and wildlife play out in 2015 .I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I do producing it.
Please pop back from time to time to see the new additions and feel free to add any comments

Newts

This is the pond in the garden and although not really part of the Meadow Blog, it is connected as the meadow attracts wild life into the garden.

At this point I appologise for the poor quality of the photos but they are taken at night using a powerful torch and flash on the camera .This has made the images a little fuzzy as the newts are under the water.  

I don't know exactly what kind of newts they are some are orange underneath and others look to be a bluey green underneath. I think they are most probably common newts.

Tonight I counted nine full size newts but I am sure there are more . It was only just going dark so there may be more out later.I only found out this last week that I could see them with a torch in the water at night. So glad I had the bat light fitted or I would never have known they were there
