    Sawflies are harmless, no sting or bite. They eat plants though. You got honeysuckle nearby, cos they like that?

    That’s good to know, RJ. Cheers! There’s honeysuckle in the back garden (this was out the front) but the neighbours have some around. I need to get some more plus other climbers. Need to go to the garden centre next week when it’s a bit quieter.

    Take a cutting Dave, just nick a stem and get it rooting. Save a fortune.

    I know absolutely bugger all about gardening, so I tend to buy pots at garden centres and scatter them around the garden. Then I was in South Africa for 3 months and the ( now ex) girlfriend living in the house didn’t water anything so they all died (by the way - that wasn’t why we broke up! I’m not THAT bad :emoticon-0103-cool:)

    I stumble my way through it, and sometimes learn things.
    Cuttings are easy though, cut a stem of pretty much anything, dip it in a hormone gel, like Clonex, and stick it in a pot with a bit of soil. It should then produce roots.

    Looks like a Storm Trouper, but a miserable one.

    My close neighbour gets the long-tailed tits on her feeders and I get goldfinches on mine, but not the other way round. We both have sunflower hearts in the feeders, so I really don't understand. Anyone any idea or is it just one of those weird things?

    Don't know Dave, we get both. The long tailed tits will have a roost nearby where they all huddle together at night and then they'll quite often make their way along a row of gardens on a regular daily route to and from their roost.
    The goldfinches might be nesting near your garden, ours are in a beech tree right next door.

    I genuinely didn’t see that, at first glance.
    I thought it was a gap in the leaves and that the lighter markings was actually a plant, a stem with off shoots.
