Haha! Pixies are slippery characters.

I heard a podcast last year with a ragwort specialist on it who said that they actually don’t spread that dramatically. Most seeds don’t set and the ones that do are very close to the original plant. They grow back more from the root. And if you’re thinking then pull them up, damaged roots get stronger. It’s all very counter intuitive apparently.

Anyway, here’s a shortened version of a video I took of ours. Sound up!

We had a monster ragwort in our garden last year. It was stunning and was buzzing with insects all through summer. Hopefully, we’ll get another one this year

I’m currently reading this book “Endemic” by James Harding-Morris which is all about endemic species found only in UK.

It’s fascinating and contains lots of info about little UK critters like the Celtic wood louse which was discovered in Wales, but now is being found in other parts of the country. It’s tiny and looks white but is actually translucent and has no eyes.

I would recommend the book to anybody who has even a modest interest in wildlife.

I have that album. I like it. Though I don’t concur with Von Däniken’s theories
