I love Dunnocks, they are often missed but their markings are definitely striking! <br /><br />I just had a weeks holiday rather than the usual weekend and we spent a few days in Wales, i'll be blogging about it soon :) Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453290738987000802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393606565428396544.post-11512749808628510762019-08-19T21:12:06.401+01:002019-08-19T21:12:06.401+01:00Fingers crossed!

We've just had a few days away in Wales and they were everywhere! We can do the same thing with Butterflies here maybe it's something I should look in to. No the birds are not happy about the Hawk but it never seems to be successful!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453290738987000802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393606565428396544.post-53594653710719691132019-08-11T17:36:46.845+01:002019-08-11T17:36:46.845+01:00Great to see so many Butterflies visiting your gar...Great to see so many Butterflies visiting your garden, loving the last photo of the Willow Warbler.Shame all this rain has stopped them flying as much.<br />Now the wildflowers are coming to a end, I have been noticing the birds a little more, still covered by the trees or just laying low after breeding. I am excited to see what's on my new patch at Stainburn Forest. Met two chaps on Wednesday from the Wharfedale group as a Hobby had been sighted in the area, no seen one before. They got to excited over a pigeon and at one point a plane coming in! (Last of the summer wine !! came to mind:) , so I suspect it might be hard to spot at first. <br />Amanda xxAmanda Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760505541954557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393606565428396544.post-69745073843605394312019-08-09T09:22:51.321+01:002019-08-09T09:22:51.321+01:00Lovely photos of all your garden visitors, how sup...Lovely photos of all your garden visitors, how super to have hedgehogs. Great to have the mistle thrushes nearby too. Still not many butterflies around the garden here, just commas and whites. We've seen more in places we've visited recently. I expect after the rain we had during the night the garden will be full of slugs and snails:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393606565428396544.post-54922723140186368212019-08-08T23:26:09.417+01:002019-08-08T23:26:09.417+01:00Many lovely butterflies good you got painted ladie...Many lovely butterflies good you got painted ladies making the list too..I really enjoyed seeing that slug video I think that's the fastest I've seen one move! Excellent birds the Dunnock reminds me of our white throated sparrows in the way they stand and their profile...a really striking color combo with the steel grey and all the tones of brown. Hope your week wraps up nicely and you are ready for the weekend off work.

We still have a couple each day on our buddleia.

Right now we have six Monarchs (three caterpillars and three chrysalises) in the house and we have already raised and released several Black Swallowtails and one Giant Swallowtail. Great to have a Sparrowhawk visit your house, although I suspect that the songbirds don't share my enthusiasm. David M.
