Today`s flowers post

Linking to Today`s flowers
This Daphne mezereum is difficult to photograph because of that special colour.
Native to most of Europe and Western Asia, north to northern Scandinavia and Russia. In southern Europe it is confined to medium to higher elevations and in the subalpine vegetation zone, but descends to near sea level in northern Europe. It is generally confined to soils derived from limestone, tells Wikipedia.

Anemone nemorosa is an early-spring flowering plant in the genus Anemone in the family Ranunculaceae, native to Europe. Common names include wood anemonewindflowerthimbleweed, and smell fox, an allusion to the musky smell of the leaves, tells Wikipedia
Anemone hepatica (Common Hepaticaliverwortkidneywortpennywort) is a herbaceous perennial growing from a rhizome in the buttercupfamily (Ranunculaceae), native to woodland in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.




These are not wild here but grow in gardens.

Good happy Sunday to you!

Spring mood of a blue-tit

I have to explain that bird`s singing. It is not coming from this blue-tit video but from the sidebar`s slideshow. If you look at the video, it`s better stop singing in the sidebar by clicking stop there :) Also blue-tit make his own voice, it`s very amusing.

The Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor) / WBW post

                                               Linking to Our World Tuesday and World Bird Wednesday


This small woodpecker tried to make noise and call some company .
He got only very modest noise and it was not effective enough .
He could find those metallic lampshades. I wish him good luck anyway :)
