Wildlife Corner

Thanks for the info. everyone. I followed up your suggestions with Google & came across this which I think fits in. I thought the angelica must have had an insect love potion, but know I know they are just friendly all the time.Never heard of bloodsuckers - as you say the innocence of...

I don't grow cabbages so they go for my Nasturtiums.I grow them in hanging baskets and I have to check them every day..if I miss a day or so they can strip a plant bare!

Early today

No problem. That is an excellent site.

The icing on the cake today - this morning (with camera -- I took it out every time I went out just in case it reappeared) I saw a second one, this time with the classic grey and black patterning. Too fast for me though, I heard him before I saw him exiting beyond camera range.Reckon there...

I actually love the sound they make, I find it gently soothing. A week ago whilst dog walking I watched a pair up high in a tree, the male was very vocal and kept dipping his head up and down a couple of inches away from the female.The ungrateful girl flew off and when we retraced our steps...

Great photography Pal Super subjects ,I also envy you.

One who is wise? (I didn't say old). :D

Great pictures gandy Most of the visiting youngsters in my yard now look after themselves. Rather amused by one today as it sat on the top rung of the seed feeder tapping away at the seeds through the perspex,the seeds need topping up and are just out of reach on the top bar.
