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...

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...
