With stripes like this they look like humbugs. Yes, the Great Crested Grebe chicks are out with the adults. They can also be seen riding on an adult's back whilst the other adult brings fish to eat, so just who is being taken for a ride?
And in case you wonder what the Drinker Moth Caterpillar from my last blog looks like here is one crossing a path.
The names - both English and Latin - come from the belief that it drinks dew.
Thanks to Lockhart for the photos.
As well as all this an Osprey flew over on Sunday - I missed seeing it as I was using the lawn mower at the time and looking what I was doing, avoiding the bees and caterpillars!
