Am having an argument with a female blackbird... it plunders my strawberries sneaking under the net! Which being old has some gaps.

Feels like it waits for me to show up , gets in through a hole and pecks away, as I approach it goes in and exits by another hole... grrr...

Maybe does it for fun as I left a few plants outside and she just won't have them...

Had one hour trimming session under rain and wind, going carefully around marsh lillies and marsh orchids, and not very close to the ground to avoid chopping frogs and toads.

Yesterday heard, clearly, a toad. In a few days I'll trim it some more.

Pyramidal Orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis), flowering at Odd Down, Bath. Probably the most common orchid species in the Bath area, it often grows on bare ground and road verges, as well as grasslands.

Botany bonus today: not much of a plant spotter, but our first suspected #orchid of the year (no clue what kind of orchid, the botanist imp in our mobile telephone says keyflower, but don’t think it is)
Bee Orchid (Ophrys apifera) at Odd Down, Bath. These orchids can take several years to develop, and may only flower once in their lifetime. I sometimes find them in abundance, only for them to be completely absent the following year. The British population is largely self-pollinated, as the bee species that they specifically require for pollination is absent from Great Britain.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: What can pollinate an #orchid with a #nectar spur up to 16 cm long?

#Florida's ghost #orchid is pale, night-blooming, and belongs to the same #angraecoid group as Darwin's orchid. This #video follows researchers climbing into the canopy to get photos of this elusive #flower.
