Graham Taplin took these great pictures of small heath butterfly, broad-bodied chaser and emperor dragonfly at The Lodge over the weekend.
No sign of the weekends spotted flycatcher today in the sweltering conditions, but the hobbies were about on the new heath early this morning. On a walk up from The Lodge HQ, I heard whitethroat, willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap and garden warbler, so with summer solstice coming up on Wednesday, the birds are still in song!
