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. |

May the month so far!
Many of the trees and hedgerow shrubs were breaking into leaf by the middle of April and are now festooned with bright, fresh almost iridescent young leaves. The blackthorn flowers are over and have turned brown, but the hawthorn flowers (or 'may') provides breathtaking white ribbons crisscrossing the countryside and lining even the most uninspiring roads. Towards to end of the month the elder also flowers with big odorous saucers of tiny flowers. The young oak leaves start off brown and then turn light green and only later take on a darker green hue. The ash is one of the last to break into leaf. Its mat black hard casings eventually split to reveal the new expanding growth below. The ash will be one of the first to lose its leaves too, but in May such thoughts of Autumn seem a long way off. From an original article in the May 2008 issue of BBC Wildlife magazine |

The month of May is a wonderful time to see wildlife. Our summer migrants are here and their songs are mixed in with the residents. Summer specialities such as nightingale, cuckoo, swifts and swallows bring a special edge to wildlife watching. Warblers fill the woodlands and hedgerows and the sea cliffs clammer with breeding birds fighting for their own little space. In the gardens and parks blue tits, great tits, robins, blackbirds and song thrushes lead a frantic life seeking food for the insatiable appetite of their young. After one or two broods the blue tits particularly look frazzled.
