I had the Leylandii taken out (roots and all) and I’ll be replacing it with a mixed native hedge to encourage wildlife. I’ll be planting trees too, Rowan, Silver Birch and berrying shrubs such as Viburnum opulus (Guelder Rose), V. lantana (Wayfaring Tree) and native Lonicera periclymenum (Honeysuckle). The birdfeeders are up, the birdbath filled and when the wind drops the birdboxes will be going up too.
Beyond the bottom of the garden is an Infants School field (I quite like the sound of the children playing) and a long stones-throw to the right is RSPB Marshside Nature Reserve - one of the selling points!
