Welcome to Jeremy's Wildlife Web site. My name is Jeremy Pidgeon. I live in Somerset in the South West of the United Kingdom. Living in the country, I have always been interested in wildlife from a very young age, so I thought why not build a wildlife website. Please note I'm dyslexic so please bear with me.Here you can get the very latest information on Birds, Foxes, Squirrels and Hedgehogs not forgetting Bats all of which are frequent visitors to my garden. Not only this but find out information about all your favorite animals.

The most popular part of my site is the bird box camera in a bird nesting box. Click here to see the parent birds rearing their young every spring. If you have any questions or comments about any thing on my site please e-mail me.

This is my Back Garden where most of the photos are taken. The image above is updated every month.

June the month so far!

This month look out for:

• Birds nesting, especially sea cliffs
• Song birds still singing - 'the dawn chorus'
• Butterflies and dragonflies
• Bats on the wing
• Meadow flowers, including orchids
• Chalk and Limestone grasslands in flower
• Swifts, swallows and house martins chasing insects

In June summer is in full swing, with mid-summer officially heralded on the 21st of this month. The countryside is lush and the hedgerows, meadows and woodlands are bursting with growth. Trees are now all fully in leaf. Most have started to lose their spring freshness by the end of May, with the bright green exchanged for a darker and mellower hue. The hawthorn blossom starts to fade, but the elder blooms light up the roadsides with their big disks of creamy pungent flowers.
The light pink of the wild dog roses and the honeysuckle pepper the hedgerows along with the flowers of the bramble (blackberry), the meadow crane's-bills and the first flowering of the foxgloves, but only where the soil is acidic. As the summer progresses the open flowers climb the stem of this biennial until only a few remain at the top of a tall spike.

The birds are singing less now as the breeding season is in full swing and their preoccupation is finding enough food to satisfy their nestlings. Young birds can be seen relentlessly demanding food from the worn out adults. The dowdy young starlings are calamitous in their pursuit of their more iridescent parents, and stomp around with indignant squawking.
