The Grey Partridge (Perdix prefix) is a medium sized bird with a distinctive orange face. It is found on farm and grassland but is under threat from loss of habitat.
Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus) is a songbird often found in parks, gardens or woodland perched high in trees. This bold upright bird is thought to have got its name from its love of Mistletoe.
Snake’s-head fritillary (Fritillaria melegris) This delicate wildflower with its nodding bell shaped flowers on thin green stems is classified as Vulnerable on the Vascular Plant Red Data List for Great Britain.
Spreading Bellflower (Campanula patula) This pretty star like flower prefers dappled shade and sheltered sunny locations especially open woodland. It is facing risk of extinction in the wild due to changes in woodland management and the increased use of herbicides.
Hellebores (Helleborus) provide a vital winter lifeline for wildlife, blooming when other food sources are scarce. Their large, bowl-shaped flowers offer an easily accessible feast of nectar and pollen for early-emerging queen bees and hoverflies.
Daisies (Bellis perennis) provide a vital sanctuary for wildlife, using their flat flower heads as perfect landing pads for pollinators. They offer easily accessible nectar and pollen to solitary bees, hoverflies, and beetles. Later in the year, their seed heads provide a nourishing autumn feast for small garden birds.
