Spot the Tilly -
hard to believe that this is the old bulb field that was looking so beautiful and yellow just a few weeks ago - now you can lose a Pointer in the long grass !
After seeing my first ever GreenVeined White butterfly yesterday I saw three today !

Re.the butterfly....rather like the number 7 bus !! such a delicate creature.Lovely to see such beautiful flowers too.Do you remember our nest box that turned upside down in the strong winds ?...well they stuck it out and are feeding young !(they obviously didn't mind their trip 'down under' !thanks Sue. macca.
ReplyDeleteJust been reading about the Green Veined White butterfly - they evidently like damp grassland - so no wonder they have thrived here recently - saw another 4 when walking in the other direction this morning, sadly they seem to be the only butterflies around at the moment - last Summer must have finished too many off !
DeleteSo pleased that your nest box residents are thriving - we've got young Magpies around at the moment - raiding the feeders and squawking all the time - Mr Crow isn't doing his job this year ! Possibly due to the difficulty in finding food. Sue
