Thursday 14th June 2018

A very warm day.
Day spent in the garden, planted out a border of sunflowers and marigolds. Just hope they stay strong to withstand the onslaught of slugs and snails?
           Trail cameras still showing just the one hedgehog and fox. Not sure what has happened to the second or third hedgehog. Bringing up young I hope?
Moth trap still yields lots of red tailed bees each night and very few moths.
Jay is a regular visitor now ground feeding under the bird feeder. Female pied wagtail still collecting food presumably for young?
A speckled wood butterfly has taken a liking to a rotten apple, loads of young goldfinches now appearing at the bird feeder. A gull appeared this afternoon, a first I think for this garden.
