Small mammals and lizards have a liking for the sun-facing stone wall on which we leave a few seeds for the small birds each morning. In many ways this is an ideal place, the equivalent of a well planned breakfast room. Trees shelter from the west and north even in winter as there are evergreens including pine and rhododendron. The small vole who creeps out from the gaps occasionally may be more attracted by the left-over seeds than prospect of sun-bathing but there's no doubt that the lizard relishes the warm stones.
