Just back from collecting 2 more hedgehogs from the RSPCA. The 2 we had last year we did catch on the trail camera a couple of times and they do...
@CatDouch haven't seen a greenfinch in donkey years. Saw my first comma butterfly this morning on the agapanthus flowers. Beautiful colour.

Bottled 14 bottles of elderflower wine. Tastes great. Not sure whether we will get any berries this year as the pigeons love them too much.
Yet another pest to worry about. Our plants look ok and hopefully they are.
