There are 2 areas that refer to meadows. The first one north of the house has quite a few young Apple trees. The second field is wetter and has Bluebird houses on it. There is a sloping hill ideal for this species as it prefers a house that faces the east and has no shrubs in the immediate area. There are many more photos of plants waiting to be processed and sized for this gallery.
