Janice rememeber to keep utting the flowers or they'll start producing seed.

Don't worry - I've had my orders from the friend who gave them to me. I pick some every day.
Will leave a few to seed for next year

Not seen a fox for about 10 days, this may be why. This morning around 0300 a young fox has visited and poor chap seems lame in one leg, be seems to get around pretty quickly.

This is my garden, no lawn but fourteen trees and still a lot of work and a small summerhouse to sit and have a cup of tea.

Our garden is very similar to yours Trebor. Got rid of the lawn years ago as I didn't want the hassle of cutting lawns as I got older.
I will have to try and take a decent photo and the find out how to post it. My problem is age and the shakes. Like you we have a number of Hostas several coming into flower

Thank you, fully agree about the lawn, it takes a lot of hard work to keep a lawn looking good. Trebor (Rita)

Have put a couple of short videos together of the young limpy fox and can be seen below. Click on arrows top left for full screen.
Another young fox made a quick visit early this morning without a limp. Let’s hope it is the same one.

Bless him. I hope it is the same one Pedro and also that he can cope with the disability.

Two badgers at around 0030, first time seen for 21 days. Perhaps the rain encourages them ?

With the warm, no hot weather there has been a marked increase of butterflies, some I recognise, these include comma, red admiral, cabbage white, peacock, tortoiseshell, humming bird moth, and some brown ones.

According to an acquaintance who is a butterfly expert - conditions have led to a bumper year.
Lot of these around (this one is on the field opposite but they are in gardens as well).

Called "gatekeepers"

We have "small whites" as well

The site is suffering lately overloading, sometimes takes a long time to load, other times straight awaway. They have been trying to fix it for about a week now.
