As well as the feeders being busy, robins
were active on the lawn searching for insects and flying off to feed
their young. A wren came in also searching for insects, watched it for a
few minutes as it quickly moved back and forth over the lawn.
On a walk
from home we soon passed a male chaffinch singing from a roadside
blackthorn hedge which is in full flower at this time of year.
Another hot
day brought butterflies out good numbers of brimstone, peacock and
tortoiseshell were out, also a few male orange-tip (the female does
not have the orange tip, hers are black) and holly blues with their
silver and black spotted underwings.
Found one comma butterfly warming
itself up in the sun. On way back home passed a small herd of goats.
Green woodpeckers are very vocal at the moment with their strange call,
also heard a buzzard and raven having words.
The following morning walked
opposite direction and more green woodpeckers heard and seen briefly.
Good views of rooks searching for grubs and, being another hot day,
butterfly numbers were good.
At home a green- veined white resting
amongst the brunnera flowers. Stewart.
