Local Wildlife
A Love Letter to My Wildlife-Rich Home
I have always been drawn to the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and living in an area abundant with wildlife has only deepened that connection. From the rustling of leaves in the wind to the calls of birds at dawn, every moment in my home is filled with the magic of the wild.

Here I am, in my natural blind spot.
I use this fallen tree roots layer as a hide to blind myself most of the time when I am in this spot. The species in this area are quite few, like Roe deer, foxes and raccoon dogs.

One of the things I love most about where I live is the fact that wildlife is active all year round. In the spring, the air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of baby animals learning to navigate their new world. Summer brings lush greenery and the buzzing of insects, while fall paints the landscape in a riot of colors as animals prepare for the colder months ahead. And in winter, the world is hushed and still, a blanket of snow covering everything in a peaceful silence.
Every day is a new adventure in my wildlife-rich home. Whether I'm spotting deer grazing in the meadow, or watching a family of foxes play in the woods, there is always something new and exciting to discover. I feel truly blessed to live in a place where nature is so vibrant and alive, and I am grateful for every moment I get to spend in its embrace.
As I continue to explore and learn about the wildlife in my area, I am constantly amazed by the resilience and beauty of the creatures that call this place home. Each encounter reminds me of the importance of preserving and protecting our natural world, so that future generations can also experience the wonder and awe that I feel every day.
In the end, my wildlife blog is not just a collection of stories and photos, but a love letter to the place that has captured my heart and soul. It is a celebration of the wildness and beauty that surrounds me, and a reminder of the importance of cherishing and respecting the world we live in.
Red Squirrel
A red squirrel in little wonder expression
Red Squirrels sometimes forget where they have stored their food. Caching food is incredibly important to squirrels as they store food when it is plentiful so that they have enough for the winter when it is scarce. However, one of the most fascinating things about red squirrels is that they sometimes forget where they have buried it. This often results in the buried nuts growing and creating new trees – meaning that squirrels aren’t called “nature’s planters” for nothing!

Sleepy Red Fox
Capturing a serene Beauty of sleepy fox in the hot sumer day in my backyard bird feeders.
Last summer in the year 2023, we reached the limit of the heat compared to the year before, causing suffering for many animals during these hot days.
One morning, I opened my door to get some fresh air and listen to the birds singing. I immediately noticed a red fox as a guest in my bird feeders.
I carefully observed her movements until I was able to trigger my shutter and capture this photo.
I noticed that this adult female fox was here looking for water to drink.
