Hello i'm new how are you

[Jez]

Hello community i'm new & quite shy as i'm trying to get my head round this pc lark. So expect mistakes, please forgive me. I have by chance come to the right place. I have always had an interest in wildlife and last autumn have been attempting a 2 wildlife mini meadows. 1 woodland the other butterfly so far so good "fingers crossed". Have been browsing through at many fine photos that you have taken and like how the community help out with wildlife identification and such. Hope you will come to my aid when needed and i to yours if i can. All the best-jez

Thankyou to buzfuz8149, oseor- not sure how you pronounce your name, Kshotton45, wildlifesnapper,GME, Deer Stalker & goosey i have a glass of cabernet merlot in hand and raise to you for welcoming me in. Heres to you Cheers! Yes since the meadows need mowing when the grasses reach a certain height to give the native broadleaf flowers chance to shine the cut is on a weekly basis until autumn to let go, it's a big interest for me to try and identify what plants in the mix that i can spot. some i can recognise others i'm not so sure. In the butterfly meadow i can ident plenty of field scabious, salad burnet, yarrow, ribworts, ox eyes and hard heads-lesser knapweed. The woodland hedge bedstraw,wood sage, wood forget me not, garlic mustard wood cranesbills. I'll have to go digital for photos see we can see how it looks though the seasons. All the best peeps and please keep intouch- jez.
