A slow worm?

Beechnut Tue 01-Jul-25 15:21:30

Yes. He/she has gone now, hope not ventured into the house.

How lovely.

Reminds me of my brothers bringing slow worms into our garden when I was little to see how slow they were…needless to say they slithered off very quickly! 😂

kittylester Tue 01-Jul-25 15:49:52

Lovely, I have loads of wilting herbs - not as exciting at all.

The only wildlife we have is a few ants!

On our patio are planters full of summer flowers and a little fountain. We have been graced with the presence of a grey squirrel who has been coming daily to feast on the alpine strawberries that are gradually taking over the gravel.

Here he is in you can spot him.

Beechnut Tue 01-Jul-25 18:47:28

I can see him MiniMoon.

I have ants too Jax infact some of them were having a wonder over slow worms body.

Beechnut Tue 01-Jul-25 18:49:27

He was doing some wriggling so maybe they were tickling him and having no arms 😂 couldn’t brush them off.

A wasps nest.

A patio bench and a pot of artificial flowers (shock ! Horror!)

Beechnut Tue 01-Jul-25 19:07:37

As long as you enjoy it crazyH doesn’t matter what it is although I wouldn’t fancy LadyGracie wasps.

Rain…at last!

kittylester Tue 01-Jul-25 19:35:41

I'll be round in a minute, pantglas.

This chap. Although it's not our patio. We are on holiday

I had at least one subterranean bumble bee last year. Every so often a solitary bee would emerge from a crack at the side of the patio. I am sure they have a proper name. No sign of any this year.

A wasp buzzing round our dinners!

cornergran Tue 01-Jul-25 20:00:14

A lot of mess after the gutters were cleaned while we were out grin.

Allira Tue 01-Jul-25 20:00:38

LadyGracie

A wasps nest.

😯
Even worse!

Whingey Tue 01-Jul-25 20:03:47

Lucky Mini Moon! Alpine strawberries! Talking about worms someone at school used to tie them in a knot! 😨

RosieandherMaw Tue 01-Jul-25 20:21:18

More important - what (or who) is UNDER your patio!

kittylester Tue 01-Jul-25 20:26:02

The ar****le! After he succumbed to the curse. I wish!
