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.

July the month so far!

This month look out for: Plants on sand dune systems, Birds nesting on sea cliffs, Butterflies, Heathland reptiles, Chalk and Limestone grasslands in flower,Swifts, swallows and house martins chasing insects.

By July the countryside has taken on a rich uniform green, punctuated with contrasting golden squares, where the hay and silage has been cut, or the barley is ripening. The air has a scent of cut grass and frizzes with insects. Summer relaxes.
As the warm breeze caresses the tall stems of the green corn, silver waves ripple across the fields reflecting the sunlight off the long seed awns. A sunny July will see the wheat mature.

The hedgerows are full and plump with nettles, the tall upright hedge parsley, burdock, cleavers, creeping thistle, meadow crane's-bill, and grasses setting seed. Where the verges have escaped being cut false-oat grass and cocksfoot are the most dominant grasses. As the month progresses their ripening 'flower heads turn the roadside verges from green to flax yellow.

In many hedgerows traveller's joy, which is a relative of the garden clematis, grows prolifically. Where it takes hold it can seemingly smother the plants below. It is also called old man's beard from its woolly seed head that appears later in the year. Greater bindweed also climbs though the hedge. Its big white trumpet flowers open during the day then twist closed as night falls. The occasional teasel can also find a foothold. The teasel's small pink flowers appear in whorls amidst its spiky flower heads.
