lots of other good things in the country today :)
I also heard skylarks and a nuthatch and there were lots of interesting plants
there were white 'bluebells'
First cuckoo.......and
what I hate to see them lying along paths and trails becaise people have picked them and then cant be bothered to carry them
Thank you Philomel, the white is beautiful.
Ramsons are a pain on dairy farms, they make the milk taste like garlic. (blech)
Mark, very pretty too, the pickers have probably found that the flowers wilt quickly.
Never thought of that Baa. Being a bit of a garlic fiend that might suit me quite well, except I don't use milk. Would be the basis of a wicked savoury sauce though!
Used to really annoy me to see people picking bluebells and pulling great lengths of white stalk so the bulb was ruined, but they actually seem to take notice of the law round here now, and leave them alone
Oh, did you see, I put the white bluebell in wild plant forum for you too Baa
