SNAKEBITE Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 When you say "hoodies" are you on about a bunch of chavs? It's just I can't understand why they would be in the country let alone eating anything that hasn't come from Mc Donalds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 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.

Highlander Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 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 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Looks like a Gunnera Manicata in it's winter state. That's exactly what it is. Loads of worms under those big rotting leaves, and maybe some seed too :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
