It's weird, isn't it! SOme days it'll be all sticky-up and others it'll just be normal with Lopsy.

ahh. Mouseys are all over all the time - think Ruth said it was related to arthritis / joint issues. Not that uncommon in elderly buns apparently

Wood avens or creeping buttercup, or one of each? Google photos so I've added the URLs too.

I think they are both Wood Avens
Top specimen is more convincing than bottom, but both specimens clearly the same as the joining of the side shoot to the main stem is the same.

ThankyouI think they are both Wood Avens
We have a lot of the bottom version around :S Our creeping buttercup is really rounded as well, moreso than 'usual', so i suspect Nottingham has a lot of roundy plants :lol:I've given up on drying for now: everything in the garage goes mouldy at the moment, there's too many leaks (around the windows and under the doors). There was no point in drying anything for the past winter in the East Midlands either, we got about 5 frosts the whole winter and none were bad enough to hurt anything :S
ID help please. Jack-in-the-hedge?

Yes, aka Garlic Mustard. Neither bunny here will eat. I've also tried it and agree with them

Mine eat it when it's young, ossibly because it's new and exciting ad there's limited anything else freesh and green (see also buddleia :lol: I nearly had them eating it!) but I stop as soon as I see flowers because they'll just leave it. Mine also won't eat teasel leaves but are enjoying very young autumn raspberry (we've got loads growing into the footpath out the front from under the wall so we're doing Bunny Breakfast Clearance).

Mmm, yes: we should clear out our willow stores from 2yrs ago :lol: If we get around to pruning the summer raspberries in time then maybe we'll give drying them a go

Yeah, mine liked jack in the hedge back when I first started foraging as it was quite an early plant I managed to ID. Now they won't touch it, which is a shame as there is loads of it about. I think it's as Keletkezes says and it was just the novelty factor at the time.

Yes, it's one of the first blossoms that doesn't smell like cat wee :lol: Ours are all over now: our own tree didn't flower this year, or hasn't yet maybe. Bunnies were lucky yesterday: there was a twig broken on the apple tree over the canal so Matt clipped it off
They totally ignored pellets that evening to eat it :lol: so we had to take it away! They got it back afterwards.Did I find it Omi? Did I get it right?

Was also after ID on the tiny white flowering thing but it shrivelled up on route home
Yes
I bet none of them eat it now :lol:The white flower looks interesting. I've no idea what it is though. It seems to have multiple florets?
