🔼 I’m no expert on ferns though I do like to see them. All I’ll say is this one’s a shield fern 🔽 Hemp Agrimony, very very common in wet places ⏬ Common Agrimony, though it’s not so commonly found

🔽 Everything about this young bird shouted ‘robin’ despite it lacks the distinctive adult colouring. I googled it when I got home and, yay, it’s a young robin

🔼 Hemlock. Oh so deceptive. Easily fatal when it’s young and in flower. But when it ripens, and the stalks dry… no mistaking it then 🔽

Love the little green finch; we have house finches and gold finches here but never saw a green one. Delightful …. and the little robin is too cute! Lovely snails!! 🐌

Daughter thinks I’m obsessed with snails. And I am. But not so much as my youngest daughter who, when we were moving, collected loads from the garden, packed them into a box and gave them to the removal men without saying what it was. (She was 7 yrs old). The snails escaped in the van. Not very happy removal men!!! 🙄😁

I had to Google the robin. It’s shaped like a robin, but I didn’t know the juveniles are speckled like that. Which just goes to say I’ve never seen one up close 😎
