Can you identify this plant?

The grey crows are probably feeding on worms and insects which are living in the rotting plants. :blink: Don't know the plant name, suspect someone else will, you always find it alongside watercourses though, to be honest can't see it having food value for the grey crows.

Looks like a Gunnera Manicata in it's winter state.

 

See this...http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/358.shtml

 

Strange place to se them though, normally a waterside plant or certainly a boggy area.

 

only I don't think crows etc would be feeding on it more likely the bugs, snails etc that hibernate within it.

ss, what's the name of your guide dog?

 

 

 

 

 

Dose no one else think they look like lupins after they've flowered & gone to seed?

 

Obviousley the location would seem a bit odd for lupins
