Nice one Strongy I've seen Gannets off the Dorset coast, way out when I was wreck fishing

Yes, I heard this on the radio this morning, which is what got me to thinking about our swallowtails...The European swallowtail is less selective than the UK ?sub-species, and will accept a number of food plants, including fennel, so I don't think I need to seed the local marsh with milk...

I discovered a little burrow in my green onion patch. At first I thought it might be rats so I dug in and discovered newborn bunnies. I tried to patch my blunder and now just discovered there is a dead rabbit across the street. I'm worriedmthat it is these bunnies mum. What do I do if their mum...
