No worries Ruth, I don't even have a lawn mower, strimmer or anything like that! I don't really have a lawn just a patch of rough grass & weeds (I like weeds) that I cut back by hand a few times a year to maximise food for insects & birds.
I used to see the caterpillars marching across the grass quite a lot but not for a couple of years now but there could still be some there out of sight.

AP thanks, we do have some very colourful & beautiful birds here, so worth taking the time to watch out for them

SKB thank you, I can't say I've seen a patient baby woodpecker, most of the ones here seem to just zoom about the place leaving the dad looking somewhat bemused when he goes to feed them, they really are so funny to watch!
