    I've been in my present location in Eastbourne UK since January 2001. Every year I've had a good number of House martins arriving in the spring and nesting until this year. Looking back at my records, in 2018 and 2019 they arrived in April but this year I didn't see any until June 17th and only two but the following day there were many. I do wonder why they were so late arriving this year.

      We've had similar reports here in Worcestershire too. Unpredictable weather has held them up in previous years...but not by quite so long! Let's hope they're all back now and can get on with raising young - in a good year they may go for three broods so there's still time for a couple 🤞

    I saw one , pretty much daily , last autumn . It was on my Abelia grandiflora . The Abelia flowers for a whopping great five months of the year , July to November , and is always smothered in flowers and insects . The variety i have has beautiful emerald green leaves with shades of bronzy-orange and red . The flowers are like 1cm long foxgloves and have a gorgeous scent . It grows about 8ft × 8ft but is easily pruned to size during frost free periods in the spring . Id rate it as a first class garden shrub ..... and the hummer obviously thought it was pretty good too !

    • @WorcsWildlifeTrust
      @WorcsWildlifeTrust 8 месяцев назад

      We make habitat piles from it :) We add to these each year, providing excellent additional habitat for a range of species but notably amphibians and reptiles. Whilst it's kept in places it can become dominant in woodland and open ground in the UK, often smothering rare plants. Traditionally it was usually trampled by grazing animals/livestock or harvested for livestock bedding - these practices have pretty much ceased, which explains why it can become rampant.

    Can these hedges keep out deer and prevent browsing on vulnerable tree shoots?

    • @WorcsWildlifeTrust
      @WorcsWildlifeTrust Год назад

      Laid hedges are much denser than non-laid ones and so can act as a livestock and deer barrier; ensuring there are no gaps will help to make sure that this stays true. Roe and fallow deer are able to jump over smaller hedges but denser hedges should help to keep out muntjac (these are the ones more likely to wiggle through). Of course, as the hedge regrows, it is also vulnerable to browsing but the act of laying spurs on quick growth so it shouldn’t be held back for too long. The spiky stakes may deter browsing from larger deer and most of the regrowth is above the browsing height of muntjac. If you're looking to protect just a few trees, circular hedges are good at keeping deer out but we don't know if there is/what the optimum curve is for discouraging deer to jump in/out.

  • @stephenrice4554

    Where I live, honeysuckle is considered an invasive. It grows rapidly, choking out native plants. I remember a relative who LOVED the aroma of Honeysuckle--she bought every Avon product with that scent she could. I also remember pulling the flowers apart as a child and tasting the nectar. But I sure don't like how it has taken over in my folks' yard.

    Im from Lancashire now living in Andalucia. I never saw a little egret until I moved here. They do enjoy following the ploughs that run between the olive trees ploughing up the stony ground and (when there has been enough rain) ploughing in the spring grasses and other wild plants that have grown. They do frequent the area generally in spring and are lovely to see. They seem to move in small groups of 2 or 3 when no ploughing is going on.

      Ooooh...good question. Do you mean something like...do bats sound to each other like they sound to us through a detector? If so, then in some ways yes and in some ways no! The rhythm and pattern of the call is likely to be the same but bat detectors reduce the frequency of bat calls into something that is audible to humans and as a result the noise that comes out of the detector wouldn’t be recognisable to another bat as a bat call (if you see what we mean).
