Garden watch week 11 - Ed Brown Photography

A picture a day from our garden in Sussex, UK. Each day a different animal and the picture taken before noon. If you haven’t been following, I originally decided to do this as a way of relieving lock down boredom & give me something to do. I also thought i’d get around 30 species, how wrong I was! Up to day 77 now & there’s only a couple of regulars I haven’t managed to photograph yet, so who knows, maybe this will be the last complete week?

77 days, 77 pictures.
