amb’s photo of a nearby Wild Cherry tree, most of its branches covered in clusters of little white blossoms. It seems thinner than in years past, when we’ve seen it so full it was like an enormous bouquet of white flowers. Now one can see through it to the brilliant blue sky (with a couple puffs of white clouds) on the day this photo was taken. I think last year’s horrendous weather-terrible months of heatwaves & drought- combined with the local council cutting back the hedgerow severely, have contributed to this tree’s thinned out look. Still there are so many blossoms that We’re hopeful it will still produce the many wild cherries on which several garden birds feed later in the year. The strange thing is: We’ve never actually seen the fruits on the tree. So how do we know they exist? Well…we find what remains after they’ve been eaten, mostly by the huge Wood Pigeons: the cherry pit that’s been-to put it politely-passed thru the birds’ digestive system. Those pigeons do leave “their mark” everywhere, throughout the year. It’s one reason regular, thorough cleaning of bird feeders & tables is so important. Some birds-like the Wood Pigeons-carry diseases to which they are immune but which can be fatal for other garden birds. When there’s bird poo on a bird table or in the water of your birdbath, both need a thorough clean with a wildlife-friendly disinfectant such as Ark-klens. It’s easy to use but should be rinsed thoroughly & the surfaces dried before putting out fresh food & water. I know this all sounds off topic to this lovely photo, but seeing those blooms reminds me to tell you about that vital aspect of trying to Garden For Wildlife. Regular, thorough cleaning of feeders, tables, birdbaths, etc is absolutely vital to garden birds’ welfare. This is a lesson we learned the hard way.😔😢Please Garden for Wildlife, but please make sure everything they eat from, drink & bathe in is cleaned thoroughly & often.🙏~💞

Closeup photo-taken by amb-of a cluster of tiny, white Bridal Wreath blossoms on a small branch of what once was an enormous, flower-full shrub. Time, terrible weather patterns, some pruning but also the interference of other, wild plants have reduced our beautiful Bridal Wreath bush to a few sprigs, but at least we are starting to see them return a bit with these pretty little flowers. They really are such tiny blooms: each with 5 roundish white petals surrounding pale yellow centres which hold the stamens & stigma bees & other pollination will flock to. Their little leaves are ovate-pointed at each end. But in this photo this particular, thin branch of Bridal Wreath has become entangled with the variegated-leaved branches of our Weigela shrub, which will-hopefully-be full of its own pink flowers later in Spring. Still, we are grateful to see any flowers at all appear on what’s left of a once burgeoning Bridal Wreath shrub. Though the flowers are tiny, every one of them holds precious pollen for bees, etc. And, small as they are, they’re simply lovely & delicate wee blossoms…still surviving somehow after many years in our small garden hedgerow, still growing beside the wooden fence. 🙏Please Garden for Wildlife, however you can. You don’t have to have a garden. Potted flowering plants can help, as will a dish of water-kept clean & refreshed often. Anything you can do can make such a difference. I say it so often, but that’s because it’s that important a message: as habitats rapidly disappear, wildlife -that means everything from garden birds to bees, snails, slugs, worms & so many forms of Life that are absolutely vital to the ecosystem-need all the help we can give them.🙏~💞

Good morning. If you know the concept of finding ‘accidental hearts’ … heart shape stones, clouds and so on to see the positive in the world…. I’m offering up the concept of ‘accidental stars’. Gorgeous #hedgerow froth for you.

Zoomed in view photograph-taken by amb-of some of a nearby Wild Cherry tree’s branches, which are dotted with clusters of lovely white blossoms. Each year this tree is covered in blooms bees love - although this year the flowers seem to be a bit fewer than usual. That could be due to the dramatic spells of bad weather we’ve had since last Spring-from heatwaves & drought last Summer to literally months of flooding rains in late Autumn thru Winter. In a few weeks, once the blooming is done, these delicate white petals will be fluttering all over the place, landing in many peoples’ back gardens, including our own. For now, they look beautiful, so full of Spring’s promise, against a glorious blue sky. Yesterday was the warmest day we’ve had since last October. And today we’re meant to be experiencing more of the same. So fortunate.🥹 With the world in such a catastrophic mess, it’s natural & so easy to be weighed down by fear & sorrow. For now, we must find some measure of comfort & solace in the fact that trees-and indeed many wild (& planted) flowers on the ground-continue to burst forth with Spring’s Life and beauty. It’s these gifts of Nature we could so easily take for granted that we must cling to & appreciate while we can. Despite the madness of insane “leaders” actions - which, yes, we need to stand up to & DEMAND: NO MORE WAR!! - there is still Beauty & Hope in the rebirth of Spring. 🙏for Peace but also trying to remember to be grateful for what Nature continues to give us with every single tree & flower that still lives & blooms; for every bee, bird, butterfly, snail, slug, worm - so many living creatures around us…Every single one of these is such a blessing…We cling to the Hope they represent, thankful for what we do have. Please Garden for Wildlife, however you can. Theirs is a World worth saving…🥹~tamisar💞

Photograph taken using a macro setting of bright yellow gorse flowers in a hedgerow. The sunlight catches the blooms. Behind the flowers is the brown and deep green tangle of branches and thorns of the hedgerow and a pinprick of blue sky through from the other side. Took the image looking up at the flowers. Mum says; "When gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season" whenever she sees it. Quite a fun saying and given there are a few varieties the season is never ending - hoorah!
When Gorse is Out of Bloom, Kissing is Out of Season

Amazing talk from Megan Gimber (PTES) about hedgerow management last Friday! Hosted by Nic and Reno at Renison's farm, we got to see their fab hedges and Lee Bassett hedge laying in 'midland bullock' style.

Hedge life.
The sun is out, today, and life is returning to the Aberdeenshire countryside.
If you’d like a little bit of it, how about our A Bustle in the Hedgerow print?

Figure 3 Zagatto (2026): Microbial co-occurrence networks for hedgerows and fields and environmental correlations of network modules. (A) Microbial co-occurrence network from hedgerow soils. (B) Weighted R² contribution of environmental variables in explaining the structure of microbial co-occurrence modules in hedgerow network. The X-axis represents the weighted R² contribution of the significant variables. (C) Microbial co-occurrence network from field soils. (D) Weighted R² contribution of environmental variables in explaining the structure of microbial co-occurrence modules in field network. The X-axis represents the weighted R² contribution of the significant variables. Networks in (A) and (C) were constructed using SpiecEasi inference from ASVs of both fungi and prokaryotes. Nodes are represented by circles and indicate microbial taxa. Edges are represented by lines and indicated significant associations. Different node sizes represent the betweenness centrality.

Shear pattern (I suppose what's called an "branch attachment") in fallen crack-willow trunk, October 19, 2025, 3:25pm. Town of Ulysses, Finger Lakes, upstate New York.. Canon F-1 | FD 70~150mm f/4.5 at 100mm | Portra 800 | 1/30 at f/11 | dev/scan The Darkroom Lab | traditional post in LR/PS. We had an enormous (60', 40" base) crack willow stabilizing the bank where the creek leaves the pond. The main trunk fell late this summer, splitting near the base. We think it was about 100 years old. This knot was revealed right at the base of the split. The wood to the left of the split looks like clean heart wood, but on the right it looks like bark inclusion (or perhaps dead wood that has rotted). Despite the fragility, crack willow frequently gets quite large around here, but pretty much all end in mechanical failure rather senescence.

Good morning. It’s a the beautiful colour changing leaves of a beech hedge today, from my long walk yesterday.
Sending hugs out again as more shocking news from around the world shakes our confidence in humanity.
