@wildflowerhour.bsky.social A very distracted day so no favourite from me but a question for those more learned than myself.... what is this, please, and is that something munching the leaves?

I love the 'telephone wire' tendrils!

@levparikian.bsky.social and fellow birding folk - this popped down for a quick look about this morning. I'm thinking Sparrowhawk or Goshawk, probably juvenile. Please would somebody confirm!?

@silverpebble2.bsky.social Found this on a bimble today - initial thought was Magpie but possibly Rook/Crow...?

Not a patch on your Curlew, mind!

If you can't have a steam loco, the next best thing is a tractor!

Oh no! I got distracted by the BBC Prom on BBC4 and missed the @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #harebellchallenge Sorry I'm late but there was just one on the North Yorkshire limestone on Friday.

@wildflowerhour #hairyplantchallenge A garden thingy this week but pretty hairy, nonetheless. Fleabane, perhaps?

You can crawl into this foxglove if you like - makes me think of vanilla ice cream with a few chocolate sprinkles. Lots of detail to absorb....
