Yesterday I saw more small tortoiseshells while out walking than I saw for the whole of last year. There were dozens flitting about, must all have emerged together. Last year I never saw more than one at a time, and probably only totalled three or four the whole year.



And can anyone identify this butterfly? It was as dark underneath as it was on top. I thought maybe a blue of some sort but they all seem to have pale undersides. It was small like a blue though.

Mothhawk, did you attach a picture? If so, I can't view it.

Snoop I can see the picture, odd how that sometimes happens.

Here's a snip of Mr,Bones pic.

Thanks, Bren In Pots. It is odd. I can see Mr Bones' photo but not mothhawk's at post 234.

Over the last few days I have had a frog jump out of the tool shed doorway and land on the edge of the rubbish bin.
A speckled wood got stuck in the greenhouse and a tortoise shell on a self seeded pansy.

Our local loch is best known for a pair of Ospreys nesting on an island, but to maintain the loch side environment they use Hairy Coos, gardening, but not as we might know it.

Lovely photo, you don’t see thrushes very often here.

Are you leaving out wine for them?

[burnie]

I have a feeling if they banned slug pellets there might be more Thrushes around, plenty up here in our village, there's only 3 of us grow veggies and don't use pellets.

So that’s the trick!!
