Thank you, that’s exactly it. I like to know the species. They really like living in my polytunnel.

Do wild violet count as wildlife?


Violets coming out now in our Cornish hedges (really a sort of wall). They are actually pretty rampant since I have been clearing off the bracken and montbretia and letting in more sun.

Wild and alive, so I think they fit the criteria.

Not wild but unusual, a diabetes alert dog. Often see in Tesco Purley.
