A very hot day with temp' reaching 27c in the shade.
Did nothing today except sit about and pack the case ready for our Dorset short break to River Cottage HQ.
A lot of activity around the pond area today but sadly no sighting of dragonflies emerging but, did see four empty nymph shells so has been recent activity. Happy in the knowledge the pond is working. With no fish now makes me think this is the reason for so many nymphs in the pond.
Plenty of butterflies, managed to photograph a comma but the peacock, large and small white were flying about all day. Swifts also about all day. Last night they were still flying low at 10pm.

" 10 - 27c in the shade, 34c in the sun.
