In the wild forest garden, the fox is surprised to find two eggs in the plant pot. She takes one and leaves the feeding station to find a safe place to eat it before returning for the second one. Meanwhile the pine marten has arrived and is watching the fox from above on the fence. After the fox leaves with the second egg, the pine marten takes its own egg and cautiously makes its way to the ground where it is only too aware the fox may be waiting. Thankfully the pine marten gets away safely with its egg.
The wildlife in the forest garden is amazing. Nature at it's best bringing animals into the feeding station from pine martens and badgers, to foxes and deer. We have bats, mice and weasels and a host of birds including buzzards, sparrowhawks, owls, woodpecker and a variety of smaller garden birds as well as wild ducks and heron who occasionally fly up from the loch.
