        They are just lovely - the birds and the photos :)

        Couldn't do that in my garden because my girl and the neighbours' cats would launch an all out attack, but how lovely to see all those birds together. :)

        Our cat does have a go but they are too quick. She is black and White so it's difficult to sneak up on them.:smile:

          Busy morning.

          I left this self sown Sunflower, even though it was in the wrong place, for the Goldfinches. They haven't even noticed it but the Sparrows have and they've emptied it.

                Thanks :dbgrtmb:. I notice that the antennae on the Admiral and Tortoishell are striped but the Comma doesn't seem to be :scratch:. Are the lumps on the end of the antennae booster boxes :heehee:

                RSPB Arne Wareham Wasp spider1 016.JPG Lovely to find these this afternoon Strongy and Shiney. These 2don't actually buzz or fly but I made my acquaintance with them both 2 weeks ago at Arne RSPB.

                  I wondered if you went to Arne, you found the Raft Spiders, I looked but couldn't find a Wasp Spider as they are usually low down near the grass so well done:blue thumb:.
                  Did you see any Spoonbills in the channel the other side of the heath?
