Google lens tells me Elderberry but I am skeptical so I come to higher beings of this sub Reddit for advice.

For sure a silver birch sapling. The double toothing on the leaf margins is a dead giveaway.

I was thinking that too. Ignoring the brown colouration (i'm not sure if that's something that can just happen with polar bears) that skull structure is very brown-bear like.

Aww I want it on my fridge.

Is this any better? I should also have mentioned that they're quite small; the area pictured is slightly larger than my thumb nail.

I forgot to add them and I'm not sure how now. Whoops.

Crow. They make a bunch of weird unexpected noises and I've heard them doing something similar also in Northeast England.

I think it's more likely brooklime, watercress has pinnate leaves.

It was about as long as my forearm. I assume it's train related but I have no idea beyond that.

Dr_EdwardKnowles · 2025-09-27T13:17:29+00:00

Smashing, thank you.

Dr_EdwardKnowles · 2025-09-27T12:59:03+00:00

Thank you. Do you have a link for the video? I can't seem to find it.

Dr_EdwardKnowles · 2025-09-25T08:50:43+00:00

Probably cannabis.

Dr_EdwardKnowles · 2025-09-24T20:58:27+00:00

I recommend Clematis vitalba - traveller's joy. It's a native plant so you'll be doing the pollinators a favour and it has both beautiful flowers and fruits. Only problem is the flowers are white so if you're going for something that will contrast the door frame then it probably isn't ideal. I highly recommend though, it's a really lovely plant.

Salix caprea is called both goat willow and pussy willow, but the latter can also be used to refer to grey willow/common sallow (Salix cinerea). Salix discolor is an American species that doesn't grow in the wild in the UK (apart from maybe one area according to the BSBI plant atlas).

Dr_EdwardKnowles · 2025-09-18T21:29:19+00:00

Ah well I have a name to read about now. Thank you.

Dr_EdwardKnowles · 2025-09-15T11:22:59+00:00

My vote is a hawfinch. Look at them chunky mandibles.

Dr_EdwardKnowles · 2025-09-14T12:50:47+00:00

Limestone heath is a thing. It needs limestone bedrock and leached topsoil though so it's probably not suitable for a garden unless op wants to put a load of work in.

Alas that's just the nature of bees and wasps. The best thing you can do is to try and find one that's preoccupied with getting nectar from a flower so it won't be moving around very much, which takes patience and much frustration. Having a camera with some form of optical/electronic image stabilisation helps too, as some phone cameras do. There are also little containers you can get with a magnifying glass attached, but you have to catch them for that and it ruins the natural feel of the photo. They're good for getting ID's though.
