Thursday

Earlier than usual start as we had Dentist appointments in Truro. Another fine morning
Nice clear view of Mousehole




We got home in good time having avoided the worst of the queues on the A30. Plenty in the sea - I gather it's really warmed up
Never seen so many butterflies as we have this year. Nice and new Red Admiral
Afternoon walkies - there seemed to be some darker cloud looming - but it dropped away to the SE
Some super shots of a rather small Hummingbird Hawkmoth on the Valerian along the footpath below our garden
It's long proboscis reaching right into the flowers

Just a quick run on the field as it was rather hot
Maisie was pleased to see a Swallow
The lugger Happy Return out for a turn around the bay

Similar morning maybe just a little cooler



Stubborn bunny on the field - after Jim & Maisie had arrived
Maisie watching
Eventually off she went

Mermaid came past into the wind

Vanessa Jane again
Too hot to walk up to the top - wind had dropped for the moment

Monday

 

Another hot and very windy night and still really windy this morning




Still just about standing up and flowering - Jim saw a Hummingbird Hawk moth on it today

Plenty of wind for this trip as she heads off into the white caps
Merlin HM2 - Crows Nest
Half the lawn was growing and getting long - the rest get's more sun and is too dry to mow. I decided it needed mowing and it didn't take long
Sadly very hazy conditions as I spotted the new Isles of Scilly Goods Vessel Menawethan heading out on her first proper delivery trip to Scilly
Jim's camera let him down, but you can just about make out a Hummingbird Hawk Moth enjoying the Valerian




Heard a loud rumbling that we've been hearing a lot of since Mr Trump went to war - KC-135 Strato tanker - first one I've managed to get a photo of
Maisie wearing a nice cool neckerchief as it was still rather hot and the wind had dropped a lot.
