Saturday

 

Rather grey first thing

Still two vessels left at anchor

Cloud starting to clear from the North

Great to see the Lugger Happy Return out in the bay

Second Lugger appeared - looks like Barnabas - Happy Return carried on round The Lizard and is now at the mouth of The Helford

I decided that the drive was beginning to look tatty and getting as narrow as the lane  down into Perranuthnoe due to overgrown plants

Really sad to have to cut the lower Valerians down, but there are plenty more higher up. Lots of butterflies today - zooming around in the wind

Marine Discovery's Shearwater II came past

Bad shot of an Orange tipped butterfly

Red Admiral taking a rest from the strong wind

All done - at least the car will happily go along without beeping and stopping!

Our first Whistling Jack (Gladiolus Byzantinus)

So pretty 

Really windy when we took the dogs out

Mystery vessel - looks Navy

Nice and sheltered down there

Happy boy today

The only one that stayed put - One Spot White Butterfly

Jim has decided to leave two patches in honour of "No mow May"

Better shot of this vessel and it crossed the bay

SCIII arriving back in the white caps this afternoon
