WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU 2018

Perhaps a Rufous in that area. Pacific through the Rockies when migrating to Cental America and Mexico.

 

I found this Jersey Tiger moth still and floating on my pond this morning - they are becoming quite well-established in South London. Fished it out and put it on the side, and it soon recovered itself sufficiently to crawl to this dianthus. Hope it makes a full recovery!

 

It’s been so dry but lucky there’s still water in my pond

 

My friendly Goldfinches feeding on the Cornflowers.
I am not quite sure if they are feeding on seeds or blackfly.

 

Hi woo thanks yes can you see the babies on its back

 

Lol Woo i best come with you i didn't notice them myself until i got home.

 

Woo don't bother mate ...they test your eyes but do the lenses wrong

 

Beautiful close ups Woo and the colours look stunning

 

Good year for Grebes, probably their second brood.

 

The Skylarks in a local 6 year old woodland that have been nesting in the grass amongst the trees may have finished nesting. For a few days there's been small groups flying around rather than just single birds rising from nests.

Hmmm, now I got my reading glasses on, are they Meadow Pipits?
