Flowers, Birds And Squirrels

I remember  picking lots of lovely yellow wild primroses for my Grandma when I was a kid.  They used to grow on the river banks in my Grandad,s fields .They grew along side Moonpennies and I  picked loads of them.  People are not allowed to remove wild primroses and also Bluebells from the ground or pick them now because they are endangered here in England. I used to see lots of birds in my Dad's garden... he built a stone bird table for them and I loved to watch them feeding.  I remember beautiful Song Thrushes with their speckled breasts and they are rare in my garden now.  Hedgehogs are now an endangered species here and I only see perhaps one each year in my garden.  We used to have lots of Red Squirrels  here in England but the Grey Squirrels which are twice as big and eat a lot more have  taken over and spread diseases which the Red ones cannot resist and so their numbers are very low right now.  Conservationists are now moving Red ones to new areas where they can be free to build up their numbers again.
