Caught up at last - my local meadow today - so glad to see it hasnt been mowed and is still full of life
Imaging my surprise when I found this little Blackbird nesting in my laundry room!
I took this with a zoom lens so she wasn't any more disturbed than the usual coming and goings to the washing machine! At least she is safe from the Buzzards!...may have to wash the farm overalls somewhere else for a while!
The fields of Dandelions this year have been extraordinary and this one in Shropshire beat them all for me, it was absolutely packed with blooms - quite tall for a dandelion as well I think - and the sheep were wading through them. I guess they're wild?
Springwatch is an annual TV venture on the BBC here in UK where they visit an area of wildlife interest with livecams in nestboxes, video features of various wildlife projects, etc. It's very encouraging how much interest it generates.
This isn't regrettably our garden, but an area of the local country park.
I think the ones with black heads are coal tits? Or great tits? And the other one a chaffinch?
(I'm always iffy about varieties!) (you wouldn't think I'd lived in the countryside 23 years. don't know much beyond the obvious - trees and plants too. shameful)
