There is a fascinating website where they have put a tracker on a cuckoo which summers in the national park in Killarney. The cuckoo arrived in Ireland in late April, left in late June and is now tracked at the Italian coast after resting for a few weeks in the Italian alps

There's some good Apps for plants and gardening and all that. What else are you growing? Check YouTube you might get lucky if someone is growing what you're growing.

For anyone interested in that sort of thing, there's an app called Merlin that recognises all birdsong within earshot and tells you what they are.
Wouldn't be big into wildlife myself, but it's fascinating just how many different species can be around you at one time.

I would not chance that. Criptosporidium risk not to mention potential anti biotics or other medication that the cattle received. Scallions easy as blazes to grow should be no need for huge nutrient input unless you growing them in sand.
