All of these wildflowers spotted along just a short stretch of path: ragwort, white campion, bramble, oxeye daisy, red campion, wild radish, dandelion, and common mallow. Nature’s variety packed into a few paces #methley

Spotted in the garden today — the often-overlooked Dunnock!
Not as bold as a robin or flashy as a blue tit, but this little bird is a regular visitor to UK gardens. Amber on the endangered birds list. #methley #dunnock

Hedgerow weeds can also be good for nature. #campion for pollinators like #butterflies and #bees.
