We get green finches and chaffinches too as well as the goldfinches and occasionally siskins. We put bugy nibbles out for the bigger birds and they have peanuts and fat balls too. We walked down the main village street to school until we went to senior school then we were taken by bus to another larger village about 20 minutes away:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-12358932159597599252016-05-13T21:53:31.646+01:002016-05-13T21:53:31.646+01:00The alchemilla has really spread over the last few...The alchemilla has really spread over the last few years and it can self seed and get quite invasive.
