The
other day, when I was cutting a path through the docks and nettles of
my 'meadow area', I suddenly noticed a dozen or more small green grape-like
objects scattered around by the mower. I thought I must have run into
a cache of fruits stowed away by some mouse or vole but I soon noticed
that they were the seed-pods of the bluebells that were
in flower here a month ago.
I believe these are the garden variety of bluebell, which originated in Spain.
A
young house sparrow lands with a whirr of wings a few
feet from me in the hedge but soon thinks better of it.
A small tortoiseshell flutters around me, settles on the
bench and suns itself then flies off again to investigate a cow parsley
flower.
