My completed painting from our en plein air painting day with Surrey Hills Plein Air Painters group on Friday. A very enjoyable day 😀. So many wonderful areas to inspire at Wisley Gardens.

We’re honoured today to have another visit by Woody Woodpecker 😀. So many lovely birds in our garden. A great way to do the washing up!

Love watching the birds and wildlife in our garden. Have many regular visitors and today Woody Woodpecker paid us another visit. Our friends were amazed when they visited at the weekend, describing our view as a lovely wildlife programme right before our eyes 😀. A great way to do the washing up! Blue T**s, Great T**s, Robins, sparrows, Coal T**s, Nut Hatcher , Collared Doves, Betty Blackbird, Wood Pigeon’s, Magpies, occasionally a Gold Crested Finch (he’s a real character), Cyril & Cyrilette Squirrel and Edward Fox & family who pass through or find a place for a quiet nap in the sun. We even hear the local owls, although not lucky enough to see them - yet - I live in hope one day 😀 and we have a pair of small bats who fly by in a figure of eight, so they must nest in a nearby garden. For Kingfishers I walk down to our local canal to watch their blue flashes 😀. So wonderful to watch all their different characters and lucky to have all this on our doorstop. 🐝🪶🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🪺🦉
