   Winter has been kind this year (so far) and we still have some Bulrushes’ standing tall. The fluffy insides are now attracting ‘early birds’ who are establishing nests, it makes a cosy lining for their nests. They may well need it thru March. 🙂

       Yes! And what a funny name for the plant in English!

   I can see why you took the shot. I like Bullrushes too, and this worked well. 🙂
   Best wishes, Pete.

     But isn’t Bullrushes a daft name…the Swedish Rolling pin down (fluff) seems much more sensible!

       They do look like small rolling pins!
       It seems that our name is a corruption. I found this. https://www.etymonline.com/word/bulrush

   Nice light catch, Sue. I love bullrushes (or whatever you want to call them) when they get fluffy.
