Wildlife

Red admiral on Phalaris arundinacea 'Picta'

Bumbleybees on Echinops ritro

Orphan field mouse on my palm. Mouse lived a week in a basket in my kitchen, and we
fed him puppy milk from a tiny paint brush, but eventually he gave up the ghost.

  2. Hi Rosemary. thanks for the comment. I know, poor mouse. I accidentally squashed his mum, moving a heavy bag. what can you do, though? they don't stand much of a chance before they're weaned, and mouse-milk isn't readly available. i checked!
