A little bit of sunshine and the world is full of song and insects.... lots of butterflies over the weekend with lemony Brimstones amongst the Small Tortoiseshells, Peacocks, Red Admirals and Commas while many Bumblebees were out searching for Willow blossoms. Lizards have been out bathing and the early Marsh Frogs have been belching.
Two large male Ruff were on the scrape this morning and getting grief from the now very terratorial Lapwings and Chiffchaffs are now singing in the woodland.
Reed Buntings are singing well and Rob Maracas got this great shot the other day...
