There's a blackbird (I think) nesting in an ornamental Lawson Cypress outside my window at work. I keep only glimpsing it as it goes to and fro.
Yesterday I could have sworn I saw a flowering bedstraw, but I just can't make it work. What I saw was a yellow, 5 petalled flower, but on checking, bedstraws (Crosswort aside, and it isn't that) have much smaller, white flowers. I'm stumped. I'll have to wait to the weekend to go back for another look, but the not knowing is driving me silly!
My flower list to date:
Groundsel
Daisy
Snowdrop
Gorse
Dandelion
Lesser Celandine
Primrose
Daffodil (not really wild, but naturalised in road verges in my area)
Wild strawberry
Dog's mercury
My mysterious bedstraw would make it double figures without counting the daffodils. I'll go and look for wild daffodils on the weekend though.
Oh yes, my first frogspawn of the year was yesterday too.
