@plymouthcc Thinking this didnt go the way you were hoping.

[Devon Nature Garden @DevonNature]

I am busy gathering Fat AND Suet balls for another comparison this Autumn and Winter. Will @GardenCentre Suet Puddings rule again? Will the @Natures_Voice Fat balls top this catergory this year?
@LoveWilko @PeckishBirdFood @naturesfeast
I shall post once all balls are bought

[Devon Nature Garden @DevonNature]

I am planning a more thorough Fatball comparison this winter. What do the birds like in your garden? Let me know.
I will do up to 20 different 'brands' this time and do a lot more information. Suet blocks may be next too @Natures_Voice @CJWildlife @PeckishBirdFood @naturesfeast

@SteB777 @RufusWildlife @savebutterflies I may be wrong though 😁

[Devon Nature Garden @DevonNature]

@SteB777 @RufusWildlife @savebutterflies From what I know, they all start green then turn brown before they head underground to pupate.

@Butterfly_bros Thank you ... will do 😁👍

@LGSpace Just bought 4 plants in planning for next years garden along with some Mahonia, Helebore and Echium.. more being purchased too

[Devon Nature Garden @DevonNature]

@LGSpace @Torbay_Council have done this in some areas.. more wildflower seeds being sprinkled along the verges or the Kerswell Bypass would be good?? May be something to partner up with @Teignbridge ??

[Devon Nature Garden @DevonNature]

@HBWildBirdCare Not a problem at all. Where i bought them from were just rearranging their displays so will head back and see what else they have in the range. I plan to run the test in either October of November. I shall tag you when we do 😀

@fara7h1955 @DaveGoulson @ChrisGPackham @BBCRadio2 I haven't heard of it either... added to the 'list' though

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

Unusual plants for pollinators No. 1: Dyer's chamomile - Anthemis tinctoria - great for solitary bees and hoverflies, and very cheerful! #R2BigBeeChallenge @BBCRadio2 #Gardening4Bumblebees

Excellent work @ExeterCouncil .. #swifts tower on a roundabout, playing #swiftcalls while surrounded by wildlfowers and nest boxes on Student Accomodation buildings. 😁
