Oh yes! - the old squarish type / I was mainly taken by the colour.

Grrrrrrrr....

More info on bacillus thuringiensis: Looks like it's adjuvants/wetting agents are the problem again.

I am also planting bee friendly plants to try and give them a helping hand. I used to use sprays for green/black fly etc, but have stopped if natural predators don't get them I squash them myself.Rusty

Hi All Just thought I would mention there is a shortage of bees this year again a lot of hives did not make it through the winter. We can all help by not spraying insecticide when plants are in blossom as this is often when the bees will be affected.I keep bees and have 2 honey bee hives and...

Fantastic pic HsuH.

The horses are still there, the five and the herd with lots of white ones, strange. I wonder if they are Luzitanias or Lipizanas ... are they not white? I put it up on two expat forums but have had no response whatsoever ... They all look happy and healthy. Plus a closer neighbour has four...

Birds will bath more this time of year they need the moisture for the eggs when they are sitting on the nest, it stops the shells from drying out to much before they hatch.

Mr Gull might be, loli; but for those folk who have them nesting on the chimney ....
