Ideal weather. Warm and sunny all day and into the evening.
Superb conditions for emerging dragonflies. Have experienced another amazing afternoon watching the pond activity.
Pretty sure I witnessed a male and female southern hawker emerging. Not able to photograph together due to vegetation but they were about a foot apart.
Nothing in the moth trap last night but a beauty in my garden boss bag. The ivy hedge of course is home to numerous moths, think I have photographed all the different species that live in the hedge.
Good to the return of long tailed tits lunchtime. Five on the peanut feeder then into the silver birch tree.
Comma, white and speckled wood butterflies in the garden today. Two pairs of speckled wood in fact around the pond area.
Two fox cubs and two hedgehogs out last night, thankfully getting on very well together.
