    They need to be trapped more here Burnie - having said that I’m pretty sure you can still buy Japanese knotweed from garden centres Bonkers tbh.

ID:	2565684 In a field not far away …. A family of coypu munching the grass . Dad was there too but further away.
    I remember when we had those in Norfolk, they did a lot of damage before all being trapped.

    Jane it doesn’t take them long to munch through those tomato leaves does it. I’ve been out again this afternoon and snipped of a few more damaged leaves.

    The bright line brown eye caterpillar,very destructive,check peppers too,you may find one inside the pepper,a few years ago I’d left a pepper for a while in the kitchen,I went to prepare it & there was a moth there when I cut it,I caught it straight away

    It’s a White Admiral . Never seen one before - it was next to the river we camped up at.

    Well I’m 99% sure it is but am happy to be corrected - it did seem to have a wider band of white than in this link…..

    Quite chuffed to have managed to take even that rubbish photo!

    Beautiful photo Burnie.
    Our local red squirrels are a much deeper brown/ red with almost black tails. I looked it up and it seems to be a bit of a gene mutation

    Taken yesterday at a local nature reserve, there is a bit of sound at the end.
