I like to see animals in my garden. Today a put some rolled oats on the wall for the birds. But this is not a bird; it is a squirrel! It doesn't have wings. Here's something else, like a jewel on a leaf. It has wings but they are not big. It is not a bird either. It's not a jewel beetle, it's a fly.

These ox-eye daisies came from our neighbour's garden, through the fence. Soldiers! There are many campions (spider flowers) everywhere. I don't need to buy plants in shops, I have so many wild flowers.

There are more purple flowers in the hedges; many tall fox...
