Tony & Alan's stuff

Sunshine, 26°, light to breezy SSE.

A communication from Tony Rayner today regarding his garden:

“Now seeing lots of butterflies - Meadow Brown, Marbled White, Ringlet, Comma, Small Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral, Small Heath, Large White, Small Copper, Large Skipper, Small Skipper, Brimstone to name but a few.

Still hearing Corn Bunting and Yellowhammer in the distance.” 

Tony has also been catching a few good moths lately including the following.

Eyed Hawk Moth
 Large Emerald Moth
200+ Pyramid Orchids growing in Tony's garden.

Alan found an Essex Skipper yesterday. Difficult to tell apart from Small Skipper. Small Skipper is similar but lacks the black tips to the antennae. 

And a Hedgehog is a regular visitor to Alan’s garden.
