What's happening in your garden this spring?

Sparrowhawk, sitting on bird table, wondering why he is alone! (From our communal garden.)

My lupins have come back with a vengeance
The patch does really need trimmed and cut back but they seem to be doing quite well otherwise
Also a couple of videos, one of a large visitor on our neighbours roof and one of a cheeky blackbird that didnt seem to mind me being in the garden cleaning up around him
Notes: first video music just times perfectly somehow, second I’m still getting used to the new camera (zoom)

I’ve had a shift around of some plants and some of the seeds are now grown and flowered.

These 3 Acers are all the same age. For some reason I just can’t grow the bloody sunset variety!!







Stinking iris. Love this plant but the other half doesn’t lol









Later on/tomorrow I’ll be making a wall mounted bird table

Just been in the garden with the dog and nearly got taken out by a flying thing… so looks like there’s bats nesting near by now!

This plant, (one of three) in our new garden are now in bloom, think it's might be some sort of Aloe but I cannot seem find out what it's name is ...any ideas people?

It’s a yucca. Could be gloriosa

Yucca gloriosa L also know as the Spanish-dagger?

[Martinspuddle]

Looking this up, you could be right @Drifty and as for the name 'Spanish dagger' it is named well, it's leaves are very sharp as my wife by accidentally found out by walking into one of the plants while wearing her shorts.

We heard an almighty bang on the landing window, ran up there to look and saw this fella staring at me



The outside we found this:




not sure he passed from or by crashing into window.
I left it in the planter and shortly it was gone.

We had a window that birds fly into constantly, found a fair few unfortunate birds in the garden. I've now put on silhouette stickers of birds in the window and its stopped it happening fortunately. I was worried I'd find the dog with a half eaten pigeon one day!
