I bought and planted some wild primrose seeds about three years ago, and since they have seeded themselves everywhere and flowered every year....
I just looked now, and its tail is bobbing up and down. Definitely a Pied Wagtail.Thanks, it is lovely to know what these birds are, and to...
I will watch out to see if its tail bobs up and down. The past few days I haven't had time to observe. I am almost certain it is a pied wagtail.
I am sure it is a Pied Wagtail. I have been needing to pay attention to other things so haven't been watching the birds closely, but I think when...
It might be. It was a small, gentle, shy bird and I understand magpies are quite aggressive and not so small. I think a magpie might have taken...
I will try to, but it seems more shy than the robin, and today was the first time I have seen it in my garden, although I have seen it on a nearby...
I think I am probably going to give up trying to feed the small birds. Today I had soaked the mealworms in hot water for half an hour, because it...
Today I replenished the saucer of mealworms and when I looked about an hour later they were all mostly gone, and the saucer hadn't been moved, and...

I started feeding a robin with mealworms a few weeks ago and he keeps coming back. There was also a male blackbird, black with yellow beak, and I...
Can anyone identify this moth/butterfly?[ATTACH] [ATTACH]

@NigelJ, that is useful information that Crocuses need to be 10 degrees Celsius to open fully. Part of my garden gets a lot of shade and up until...
I noticed that some crocuses were open today, and that they have a lot of pollen. I have wondered for a long time how winter flowers get...
@Balc, open yellow crocuses are awe-inspiringly beautiful. I noticed the first one a couple of days ago, unexpectedly from the depths of winter...
@NigelJ wonderful purple Crocus tommasinianus and fancy snowdrops. I have a few snowdrops flowering, they are just ones originally from...
Today I noticed the first fully opened crocus flower mixed in with my cyclamen. When I got round to photographing it later in the afternoon the...
@shiney, those willow leaves sound perfect for your cyclamen. Dried leaves or small wood chips seem to be what cyclamen need to stop them...
