Whats Your Weather Like 2025
It hasn’t rained but the air is still saturated with damp. Sort of looking forward to the cold spell as it will be dry at least.

What's buzzing or flying near you 2025 ?
We had a stork in our field this morning, it stayed for about an hour. Unusual to see one on its own away from the flock.

I thought the problem that occured with commercial seed a few years ago was put down to the seed crop crossing with a different type, possibly something growing wild even.
