When you care for nature, it cares for you. When a vegetable garden is looked after with sympathy towards nature and its ways, and all the creatures that comprise it, nature will have its own way of reciprocating.
Woodcock beak holes
It’s amazing to see more visitors to the garden other than just the songs birds, various insects and other creepy crawlies. A regular visitor has been the woodcock (or becada in Spanish), a very shy bird that hides at the sight of us but will then fly away at the last minute. Their long beaks dig deep into the earth to retrieve grubs, bugs and words. All that’s left are these neat little holes that, who knows? may be helping aerate the soil, and are certainly a pleasure to see, being so rare and shy; a sign that what we do can be shared with other creatures.
