It'll be foxes, in my experience - I live very near a railway embankment which is a local 'fox superhighway' and both my neighbour and I have come...
I spotted this Comma butterfly in the park this morning - fortunately I had my camera with me and it was obliging about holding its pose. Love its...
When the time comes for a new tree, one that has a columnar habit (i.e. is going to stay narrow as it grows) might be a good option. Two that have...
I've spotted this thread rather late in the day, but hopefully not too late to mention a couple of really fascinating wildflower 'experiences'...
My visit was made before the announcement of their financial woes - but I did wonder why the branch I visited was so poorly stocked, with lots of...

I think you're right @pete, having looked those up! Interesting. It's very decorative, I'm wondering whether I might be able to squeeze one in...
If anyone can ID this climber, I'd be grateful! It's growing in a rather neglected community garden up the road, in a large container - quite a...
Contrasting forms: Common knapweed and perennial ryegrass[ATTACH]
Is it the same plant as Little Dancing Girl? (Literal trans. of the name.) If so J Parker's offer it - out of stock at the moment, but will email...
