More Pond Life and the First Swift

How exciting (if you are a nerd!) We have at least one tadpole with all four legs, and we saw the first swift of the season this morning - nearly a month later than last year, so maybe they've been avoiding us.

Not only that, we have Dragonfly larvae too!

Hard to believe there wasn't even a puddle there 7 weeks ago!

For those who are less excited by pond life than me (and my friend Bilbo who will be REALLY impressed with the dragonfly), this is what the re landscaped bit of the back garden looks like at the moment..........


you might want to double click to see that there is a bit of colour there now.

    If you're a nerd then what does that make me {giggle}.

    FABULOUS to see the dragonfly larvae, now you really will have to plant something suitable to help them emerge next Spring. How about the tiny Bullrush (I'm sure there is a 12" tall one) or a similar sized Iris.

    Lupins looking good too.
