The Bird's-foot Trefoil

#GrowNative4Nature

2 solitary bees, the Patchwork Carpenter & Blue Mason bee (I think but not sure!) still regular visitors in the Bird's-foot Trefoil today which despite the dry conditions is doing well at providing 4 a range of insects!
So too Field Scabious 4 hoverflies!

We ALL have our bit to do now!
Focus on the things you CAN do to help, driving less & walking more & always if you have green space avoid all use of chemicals and #GrowNative4Nature

plant hunters knew more abt plants than biodiversity!
Even today not many UK gardeners know the origin of most plants in their gardens/allotment plots but they tend them lovingly not understanding that although nature-loving, they are not helping our declining nature much at all!
