Is anyone else interested in wildlife gardening?

I am helping a friend to develop a 5 acre site as a haven for wildlife. So far I've planted a range of native flowering plants that attract pollinators, begun to develop a scrub area with food and shelter for birds. A new project is to plant a few of the rarer native fruit trees.
The site also includes wet and dry woodlands. One boundary is a stream with fish - and lately a heron.

Very lovely
What area is this ??

 

[JanePanteg]

It's in the north Pembrokeshire area.
My latest job is to get an area ready to plant a medlar - flowers for bees, plus less usual fruit.

Interesting moth. Never have seen that tbh. Only the birds as i do put sugar water out for them near my big bay window and watch them. Not sure if they eat seeds from feeders. Usually see blue jays, cardinals, chickadees, sparrows, robins, doves.

I have to look up moths though. Ty
