They love our goldfinches, we have a merlin that has taken a fancy to them too!
Only the second I’ve seen on our land. Swooped onto our bird feeders and narrowly missed a blackbird
Love it, well spottedCoral fern with hints of hexagonal patterns in its natural formations.
Wow, very sad, but beautiful. I guess Little Egrets in Somerset are almost like blackbirds here! Also, just for future reference, Enrico, your pretty 'garden warbler' isn't dull enough; it's more likely to be a Chiffchaff. Lovely to have in the garden.
they are only a problem in the spring as they damage the fresh buds on the fruit trees, but you need to have a heck of a lot of them in your orchards to be a real problem
No, a few years ago but all the same crocus are open and the bees are on them. A bit wet today
Slightly off topic, but hope it brings a smile to peoples faces, I bought a selection of old hats from EBay. Probably the best of a bad bunch… none fit! They are really for the kids dressing up… I am thinking I could attach a bit of netting and make a veil.
Well done you for posting this photo of yourself.
The bees have minimal flight to the laurel but would rather flyover a mile to the rape it would seem!
Apparently the Meadow Argus has been seen in the UK, perhaps as an accidental import, and known as Albin's Hampstead Eye.
I think that Meadow Argus is possibly the most perfect butterfly I have ever seen. Of course, flying together before they landed did make for an unusual sight.
