I can’t remember what was in this pot last summer, but leaving it out all winter has rewarded me with more pretty moss and what seems to be a self-sown birdsfoot trefoil. So I’m pretty happy.

Since I’m mostly house bound these days and only have energy for short trips downstairs to my garden, I’m glad to see the neighbourhood cats enjoy the sun and the wilderness.
And on top of that, the butterflies are very interested in my bed of stigning nettles. So I think it’s safe to declare that I’m expecting caterpillars 💚🐛
(The video is from a few years back, but I still love to sit and watch the activity in the nettles. So I hope it’ll happen again this year)

(they appear to be slightly cheaper now than back in 2024 too!).

Our blackbirds are damn smart and adorable.

They have figured out how to jump flop to grab food from the chickens' feeder (dammit).

We've now seen a couple of times a male blackbird (black blackbird) do the jump flop to grab food from the feeder, to then feed his partner (female brown blackbird).

They have also figured how to perch onto the hanging peanut holder and peck at he peanuts. The sparrows subsequently forage the crumbs underneath.

"Merlette allons voir si la rose..."
Madame merle a choisi mon Pierre de Ronsard pour faire son nid cette année au lieu du chèvrefeuille habituel.
Un régal à observer...de loin évidemment !

We have butterflies. I don’t know if this loveliness eclosed from a chrysalis in my garden or if they were returning to their place of birth to spawn, but it’s a thing of wonder. Some pics: #butterfly #aniseSwallowtail #sfba #WildLife #gardenLife #NaturePhotography
