A redpoll visited the back lawn again this morning, half-hidden in the meadow-like tangle of grass, daisies and dandelions.
The bird was feeding voraciously, tearing the parachute-like seeds off dandelions - I'm glad I didn't get around to dead-heading them. We take so much from birds and other wildlife with our tidy garden habits. (What, us? Tidy garden habits? Really tidy people wouldn't even have dandelions in their gardens - which is a shame, because they're big and bright and cheerful.)
