As you explore our gardens or any garden for that matter, be watchful for birds and other small animals nesting in the area.
This Killdeer was spotted in our gardens protecting her nest. She fans out one wing and drags it along the ground as if wounded to distract unwanted predators from her nest.
They have one or two eggs, sometimes three and they guard them well.
So be watchful of our nesting friends as you look around the gardens.
