Profligate

Nature really is in reproductive overdrive at the moment.

These.

The sweet cicely that now has seeds about ready to pop and lead to further takeover next year (i've chopped them) .

5 chicks in the blackbird nest in the crook of the hawthorn-in-the-hedge.

Corvids constantly on the hunt. Or eating seeds (?) - see extra - i stood watching this pair high above (you'll need to zoom in), perched on incongruously thin twigs, watching the sky to the west, occasionally following a seagull as it passed overhead, and picking at bunches of the nearby seeded flowerheads.
