What a privilege! Unusual things in our gardens.

Does my sister’s unusual sighting count? This morning she saw a green parakeet in her garden on the Dorset coast.

We have two unusual trees. An Indian bean tree and a Tulip tree.

I absolutely love Indian Bean trees 💙

Our daughter in Cheshire had two hoopoes dancing on her lawn.

I think I saw the sun in my garden the other day 😹🌞

That’s very unusual grin

We've had seven deer in our garden at one time, several sheep which had escaped from a nearby field, woodpeckers and even a ferret!

Nowhere near as exotic but we had a pheasant in the garden the other day.

We used to have bandicoots in our garden.

Tonight I saw an eastern barred bandicoot in the garden at our holiday house. They were declared extinct on the mainland a few years back but were re introduced on fox free Philip Island and have bred up. I was so excited to see the little thing just hopping around under a tea tree.
Anyone else seen anything unusual in their gardens?
