Hi everybody and welcome to the site what a good idea ! Ive lived here all my life all of 11 years lol Me and my dad Heath recently made a huge bird pie for the wildlife that visit our garden. Through the cold weather the animals barely have any food so it would be a really good idea if everyone in stainton but out more food for the wildlife. As a result the following birds have been attracted to my garden ... a pair of robins, bullfinch, greenfinch, chaffinch, bluetit,coaltit, great tit ( not my grandad lol), thrush, rewn, blackbirds,woodpecker ( on the odd occasion), sparrows, sparrow hawk , magpies and jackdaws ( greedy devils), pheasant, a greedy little squirell, and much to the annoyance of my dad there is a mole making a regular appearance in the rear lawn ( i love it ). The bird pie that we put out for the animals was made out of lots of peanuts , wild bird seed , crusts and is held together by tesco's very own lard ( yuck). The stainton quarry is a great place to walk around and i have found lots of fossils that have come from the cole mine in maltby these must be millions of years old. On a recent walk the large slurry pool looked like a seaside resort although in black lol. In recent years even i have noticed the everchanging landscape. And i am sure in time when its grassed over it will look amazing ! Please can we all keep our eyes out for flytippers and litter bugs ! If anybody needs any help cleaning out the stream in summer give me a shout and i will get my wellies out !
