    I'm out in the sticks so there's a fair bit, but none in my immediate vicinity :)

    Ragwort seeds can stay dormant in the ground for up to twenty years apparently.

          The finches have been very tame this last week - or the heat is getting to them. We've been having to walk around them on the patio.

          This one decided to have a snooze, standing on one of our water bowls that has not been cleaned lately (or filled up). There are three different size and depth ones within 2ft of where he was sitting.

          I was able to walk right up to him as he was waking up but he still didn't fly away. :)

          I ended up about 18" away from him and took this on zoom whilst standing there. He wasn't the least bit worried.
