It’s not such a sharp photo, but it’s the first green hairstreak I’ve ever seen with my own eyes and I was very excited!!

A speckled wood - still looking a bit pleated, so maybe newly emerged? #butterflyweek

Today’s #birdoftheday theme is #Ducksoutofwater. Which reminds me of the time we saw these ducks keen to get on the bus in Richmond, London. I wonder if they were trying to use their Oyster cards?!

Here’s a lovely small tortoiseshell

Can this grey heron qualify for #birdoftheday theme #riverbank? It is a bit in the middle of the river ready to do some fishing. But you can see the banks!!

Hi this juvenile starling was resting on our grass and I think it is #speckled, which is today’s #birdoftheday theme. The photo involved my other half lying on his stomach and zooming in, but the little guy didn’t seem phased by it!
