Woodpeckers - Did You Know 💭
Did You Know 💭
Woodpeckers are one of our shyer birds, often found hiding amongst the trees in woodland areas. Although, if you're lucky, they may make an appearance in gardens, especially those with fat ball or peanut feeders! 🐦
For more information on Woodpeckers in your garden, read our guest blog here!

We're All Busy Bees... 🐝
Beneficial insects work just as hard as we do in our gardens! They pollinate our plants and eat garden pests like mosquitoes and greenfly.
With National Insect Week beginning tomorrow, we’ll be out spotting all the creepy crawlies we can find! Who have you seen in the garden? 🐞

A Hungry Feathery Friend!
Have You Spotted Any Blue Tits Yet? 👀
We have a lot of comings and goings from our feeders! Most will have fledged from the nest boxes and be searching for food independently.
Suet Balls with Insects are a favourite in our garden, fabulously high in fat and packed with protein, they are great for growing fledglings and tired parents needing an energy boost!

A Late Night Visitor🦔
Our wildlife camera captured some spiky friends last night 🦔
They were happily tucking into some Ark Hedgehog Food Original!
We've spotted many visitors in the garden this week, from hedgehogs, to foxes to hordes of starling fledglings with an insatiable appetite eating everything in sight!🐦⬛
Who have you seen in the garden recently? We'd love to know!

Nesting Material
Some of our garden birds will still be preparing their nests, and working extremely hard to make them cosy and safe for their soon-to-arrive offspring 🐣.
As well as providing nest boxes in your garden, you can give your garden birds a head start with our 100 per cent natural nesting material - this helps to cushion and support their eggs and insulate them against the changing temperatures.
Purchase nesting material here our website:

It's not always the early bird that gets the worm—it's the crafty squirrel that gets the Coco Feeder! 🥥🐦🐿️🌰.
So, if you ever find your coconut bird feeders mysteriously empty and a mischievous squirrel dancing on a nearby branch, take a moment to appreciate the audacity and resourcefulness of these furry creatures. A reminder that nature always finds a way to surprise and entertain us 😅🤎.

Drought has been declared across much of the UK and wildlife needs your help. Birds along with many other animals need to drink every day to stay alive ☀️💦💙.
Please ensure you keep putting out fresh drinking (and bathing) water every day during dry spells.
Please share and spread the word!🙏

Ark Wildlife Garden Tadpoles
The tadpoles in our Ark Wildlife Garden pond are developing nicely! 🥰🐸💚
A pond is key in attracting the most varied wildlife to your garden; it’s a true wildlife magnet. It’ll touch the lives of most surrounding wildlife. This is because a garden pond provides a habitat for many varieties of organisms, including insects, fish, plants and amphibians. A pond also yields food: plants and insects provide food for many creatures. And it provides bathing and drinking water for your garden birds and mammals.
It’s also a place where animals such as frogs, newts and toads will breed. Dragonflies and damselflies will lay their eggs on the pond plants or drop them onto the surface of the pond. The importance of the garden pond never ceases, and it’s rewarding to create a safe haven where local wildlife can flourish.
Although a pond is the best way to attract wildlife into your garden, it may not be practical if you have small children. Think very carefully about if you really want the responsibility of a pond if you have under five-year-olds that regularly use the garden. Even just a few inches of water can be dangerous, and waiting until the kids grow up a bit is safer.
