12 Yellowhammers visiting the garden, with a few just beneath the living room window!😍
They are eating the seeds from the long/ wild grasses, flying around and spreading out in an area around the trampoline.

There are some juveniles as well, so despite that trees along some field roads in the area have been cut for the purpose of "Green" Energy, some yellowhammers are doing well.

The joys of having a wild garden. I've lived here for more than 12 years, and in that time, the garden has gone from trimmed hedges, mowed down grass, and no flowers to an absolute abundance of life.
By my last count, I have observed over 800 species. I do not count most of the plants as they wouldn't be here if I hadn't planted or sown them.
The biggest breakthrough was when I put in a small pond.
Every year, I make small tweaks and improvements, such as adding rotting wood, piles of twigs and branches, stone dikes, clay cobs, and nesting boxes. This year, I think I'll try to clear a small area and mix in some sand to attract more ground-nesting bees and maybe put in another pond if I can find the space for it.

Is there an English equivalent to the Danish VildMedVilje (WildOnPurpose)?

Vildt vokset 30 + år gammel Mirabel på vores eng i fuldt flor d.6 april 2025.
Kroneformen er opstået ved påvirkning af fritgående heste og kvæg af små oprindelse racer, der løbende nipper de friske skud hvor de kan nå.
