Good shots K G you marvel at nature how it can produce those wonderful feathers

I love frittileries too, though only have the snakeshead now (others died off after flowering). They willlook lovely in your wild grass border - shame only one came up, though as Waco says, they do well from seed.

So beautiful, have never seen one, thanks for sharing

Lovely pic!

Some of the land's sort of "lent out" to a friend for the moment, until we decide what to do. I have possible plans for growing plants, but we'll see how time and energy go! I'm already under the cosh with the projects we have at the moment, so we're taking it very steadily.... (T'other 'arf...

Very nice Hyla and I just love the fritillary. They are called Schachbrettblumen here. I tried them years ago but had no luck whatsoever.Your new (birthday) book sounds great LofL, covering everything as it does. Bet you won't get your nose out of it!

Unfortunately, no success in my new book! I agree it's not quite right for the Prunus spinosa (sloe) but in my "bible" Aussie book, it resembles the Prunus serrulata (the Sato-zakura group) of which there are many hybrids.With that pink tinge, it's similar to my almond blossom. They are...

Well...YAY!I've never had a nesting pair of anything in any garden i've had through my life, so this is a real treat for me, as its quite close to our windows too.I've named them Cecil and Maude :D They're noisey.How can i help them? Any strong nesting materials i can leave out for...

:eek: shivers! :eek:

The Aussies are dedicated to killing these toads they are monsters ,they usually aim their trucks at them they look like frisbees all over the roads,apart from eating everything that moves the big fear is they get in the rivers were they would be eaten by the freshwater crocodiles...

thanks for your help. She didn't come back unfortunately (and I picked up a few more aphids) but I'm sure she was just busy with other things. Its nice to think summer's nearly here.

Wonderful song - and great to sing along to when driving. Along with Fly Away, Thank God I'm, a Country Boy and of course Annie;s Song.I remember watching Jacques Cousteau - one of the first - amazing.

Lovely film, lovely song. Thanks

Hi Pal great Idea Hope you do,nt mind if I borrow it.

Badger - or maybe one of those big cats for which Cornwall is so famous?(j/k!)

Oh, you are so good at woo-ing, woo ...

Even if I did have my Handy handy (ha!), the squirrel was just too quick. Hubby said that he and the neighbour think that they have a nest about where I saw him disappear today. So, if that is so then we should see them more often now, hope so!

This fox is urban living and like to get comfy on the settee in front of the telly and the laptop - has extraordinary access to GC, as well!

Flitting visit, cos I bin a bit busy. Tonight when letting the dog out last time, I saw my first hedgehog of the season. Dog sniffed and left when told, but our prickly friend was still, so prolly didn't realise it wasn't a plant. My visitor looked fine though, and scuttled away when the dog...

Fab pics, H-A!!!!! Not too keen on spiders, but the others I can cope with..... will show them to the little darlings on their return from school..... if they behave!! Talking of which, they can't wait for the lizard pics!!!!
