Cowslips growing in the garden. As they are one of my Mums favourite flowers I took a picture.
Cowslip ( Primula veris) grows in pasture in the wild. The flowers are pale - deep yellow with orange throat petals joined at the base with tubes with 5 notched lobes . flowering April -May.
At the cottage we seem to have a pair of blue tits that think they are woodpeckers. They disappear into a nest box and tap away until they eventually emerge with a curly piece of wood and fly off.
They also can be seen here collecting more nest material from a small willow tree. We watched for quite a while and it seemed to be very hard work but it was comical too watch as they tugged and pulled and hung upside down.
