Sunday 19th May, I made the best of the sun before the rain came.
I make no apologies for this first photo, just a plain standard five bar gate, but the scene is different each time I see as the seasons change.
Remember those lambs from my previous visit? A recap, have a browse through "Baddesley Clinton 10 May 2024"
they're growing fast and become sun drenched teenagers......
The tax man's taken all my doughAnd left me in my stately homeLazin' on a sunny afternoonAnd I can't sail my yachtHe's taken everything I gotAll I've got's this sunny afternoon
Save me, save me, save me from this squeezeI got a big fat mama tryna break meAnd I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazin' on a sunny afternoon
Lyrics, Lazing on a sunny afternoon; The Kinks, 1966
The daffodils and bluebells have moved over to let the nettles and other plants provide food and cover for insects.
Jackdaw action
A European Hornet
and off it buzzes.....
More jackdaw action, this time around the house and grounds...
Three buzzards were overhead, riding the thermals, but not close enough together to get them into one photo...
More young of 2024, a Canada gosling
A speckled wood butterfly
Those swallows are nicely active.
and a jackdaw to finish with....

Good stuff with the swallow Mike (mostly lol). Fab shots of the hornet too. Lovely set, thanks for sharing

Thank you PB.
Now back from the daily leg care, I'll share those pics in the swifts, swallows & martins thread, plus the bad pics.....
