That’s 63 different animals on 63 consecutive mornings in our garden in Sussex,UK. A project that I thought I could run for about 30 days has exceeded all expectations. There’s still a couple of birds missing from this project but I’m hoping they’ll put in an appearance soon, in the meantime its bug season so check this little lot out. And when I say little, thats not a figure of speech for day 63!
