Anglesey Wild Flower Meadow

HELLO

Welcome to the blog of my Wild Flower Meadow for 2015.

A bit late starting this year due to nasty persistent virus that was so difficult to eradicate.

Sadly this may be the last year I may be keeping a blog for my meadow . The house and acre of land will be going on the market in the not too distant future . The new owners may put the land back to grazing or development who knows .

I sincerely hope not.

I hope it will be as loved and nurtured as It has been since I started it in 2006

In the mean time I will endeavour to keep the blog up to date with lots of pictures showing how the plants and wildlife play out in 2015 .I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I do producing it.

Please pop back from time to time to see the new additions and feel free to add any comments

Residents and visitors who share the meadow (birds)

Robin Chicks

Goldfinch

Swallow

This is just a very small selection of birds that we have visiting the meadow. we also have Blackbirds . Thrushes ,Greenfinch, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Blue Tits, Great Tits ,Jackdaws ,Crows Magpies.During the very hard winter of 2010 we even had a Raven in the hen pen eating from the hen feeder . A Buzzard landed in the meadow tonight after either a rat or vole . The visitors that thrilled me most a couple of weeks ago was a family of Linnets 6 in all. Lovely to see their bright pink chests.They were really tucking in to the flower heads of the Ox Eye Daisies and Corn Marigolds that had gone to seed

Butterflies and bees

Due to the hard winter and the very dry spring the butterflies and bees are very scarce these pictures were taken in 2010 there have just not been enough to photograph this year. Also the bumble bees are a less not as many varieties as in passed years . My own honey bees are thriving at the moment but not a lot of honey as of yet ,but as long as they make enough to make it through the winter I will be satisfied.
