Gorgeous pix Steve. I'm hoping that I can open up some gaps in the fence and possibly get a hoggie coming in, now that I have the water scare to keep the r***y cats out. Working a treat
Lovely pix too yarrow. I know jackdaws are a bit thuggish, but I quite like their boldness. Ditto magpies.
Perhaps your starling has lost his map and compass...
I think I tried a Helianthemum donkey's years ago in another garden, but it didn't do very well. Technically alpines, so didn't like the winter wet. Perhaps with a bit of shelter over winter - a cloche if you're in a wet area? Are you a bit further north than me? I can't remember.
Ironically - many of them are named after Scottish hills!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks Fairy everything is growing so much its getting a bit crowded! I've had to dig another bed! friend has been told to watch Monty he had exactly the same situation on GW. I think she is calling the councils environmental department, they tend to come and relocate them she's just happy that I told her they weren't wasps! She's not much of a gardener!
Yes - I actually watched GW last night - unusual for me, it's usually Sunday morning. Hope you get it resolved successfully.
Re growing too quickly - I have the same situation in the border running along my main boundary. Shouldn't have brought all that manure back from work! I will now have to do some relocating...

So many beautiful pictures... i love the plant combinations, everything seem to be happy together whether the borders seem to be planned and colour schemed or not. That "it happened on its own, i swear" touch of greenfinger-itude... Envy? Me? Totally ?
The wildlife pictures are lovely. I still can't believe how crisp was the image of the bee...

Flowerlover, stunning natural style planting with dreamy colour combo!
Steve, no hedgehogs here
your three are lovely and obviously content! 
Things are getting a bit more colourful
Someone say bees? Look what we found in my friends garden! Just what Monty was showing us!
Looking great Wonks. Lovely when everything starts maturing isn't it?
What has your friend done re the bees? Did he/she get in touch with a local bee keeper?
