Singing for it’s dinner

I made a new friend this morning. As I was digging a Robin (Erithacus rubecula) started singing, when it wasn’t eating the worms and insects I unearthed.

There is an update on the male Pheasant too; he has a partner. I thought he had been quieter lately. I hope I get to see youngsters soon.

Visions in blue

I may be having trouble photographing Orange-tip butterflies (Anthocharis cardamines) but I have managed to capture this Female Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus) resting on a box (Buxus) hedge. I have noticed quite a few of these beautiful butterflies, both male and female, flitting around the garden this week.
