Came home to garden full of them but sadly the sparrows are eating them.

Ravens did a nice close fly by. Lucky I happen to have the camera in my hand already to photograph something else.

Gatekeeper butterfly ( google says) on my Rudbeckia

A few pictures taken whilst we were counting butterflies.



Peacock butterfly



Monarch I think, trying to pretend it's not sat on a fence top



Baby bird (maybe dunnock) having a rest after a very tricky try at flying.



Think this is a goldfinch nest (ps this was not touched and we have now placed buddleia out of bounds as much as possible). PS if it is goldfinch (we're starting a close watch) I'll be super happy as I've been trying to lure them to the garden for some time now.

Nice pics, Jimny! I think the butterfly on the fence might be another peacock, like this one: https://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/phpB...b617793d7d.jpg

Spotted this little fella amongst my tomatoes no idea what kind of moth it is but had a lovely iridescent sheen to it

This giant hoverfly on my hemp flowers (not medicinal!!! ) or at least that’s what I think the plant is!

I think that's Joe Pye Weed. Here's what is probably a holly blue on the same plant:
