    :gnthb::gnthb: Great pics Woo, Roders, Periwinkle and Sis.

    I think I have only seen a Brimstone once, and that was in September of last year. I managed to get two pics of it, must be here in this thread.

    Gorgeous colour, Woo. I've never had any luck with wallflowers, mores the pity as I do like them and they smell heavenly.

    Thanks Kathy, it should mend soon.

    Being at home and staring out of the window does have it's plus points as a male Bullfinch appeared in the front garden this afternoon, only for a minute or two then off to a dead tree thirty yards away. Not very common down here, no time for a pic but had a look through the binos. Only the third one iv'e ever seen.:thumb:

    Hope so too, don't know where it came from as they usually frequent orchards to strip the blossom, not many round here.

    Couldn't believe my luck, he came back this morning, he was after the black sunflower seeds I spread on the lawn, had the camera ready in case (and hobbled to the window:D).
    A flock of 10 Long Tailed Tits stopped for a few seconds and were gone.:(

    I have very recently got to stand within 3ft and talk to a Hen Robin currently feeding her chicks in a shrub within our garden and even photographed 3 of her 4 at close quarters as such. If I can get a copy off my phone-camera, I will place it on here to show you all and with pleasure.
