Our favorite holly tree is about 25 feet from the front porch.
Itâs not the biggest we have, but in season it is laden with red berries that make it a bright, showy addition to the landscape. Birds and a couple of critters love it.
The berries adorn the holly for months, but when spring begins to rouse itself from a long winter sleep, the berries disappear quickly. The two critters â gray squirrels â begin to nibble on the berries toward the end of February. I suppose theyâve always eaten holly berries, but they made their way to the prettiest holly only a couple of years ago.

CARMEL, Ind., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Forty years ago, very few retailers specialized in providing supplies and information for attracting and feeding backyard birds. On January 28, 1981, Jim Carpenter, an unemployed nature enthusiast, combined his retail experience with his passion for backyard bird feeding to open the first Wild Birds Unlimited (WBU) store in Indianapolis, Indiana. There are now more than 345 locally-owned and operated Wild Birds Unlimited franchise locations throughout North America, each dedicated to bringing people and nature together. Everyone questioned my idea, said Carpenter, founder, president and CEO of Wild Birds Unlimited. And though I didn t realize the full-potential of the business at the time, I saw a niche for a hobby store and a great way to be my own boss and do something I loved.
2020 was a tough year for everyone. The countryside, our local parks and gardens have been our salvation, nature our anti-depressant. Which is why the Wharfedale Naturalists Society wanted to celebrate the diversity of plant and wildlife here in the dale. Asking its members to join in their first-ever Christmas plant hunt and birding competition. Aiming to end 2020 on a high, looking forward to happier times ahead. The task was to record as many plants in flower (excluding those in gardens) or birds seen either in the garden or countryside over the festive period (starting Saturday, December 19, and finishing Sunday, January 3). Everyone was asked to keep within the spirit of the times and restrictions, submitting records from within five miles of their home, as the crow flies.
