Wildlife Check-in: Toads and Butterflies

Who says British wildlife isn’t exotic? Here at the Smallest Smallholding, our little patch is host to a plethora of wildlife in an array of colour. Even after this dreadful summer we’ve had, they’re still arriving in force.

Our buddleias, sedum, dahlias, lavender and cosmos are providing countless butterflies and bees with sweet nectar.

We’ve also got a few frogs and toads that drop in every few days. I found this guy poking his head out of our bird-bath/redundant water feature and looking very cosy indeed. Looks like Autumn is going to be a hive of activity here.
