Small Tortoiseshell butterfly was the first of this year, it must have been the warmth. This isn't the right photograph as you can see, um, the Buddleia flowers from June to September.

The Grey Squirrel is such a cuddlesome creature; and what it's done to the Red Squirrel (native of these isles), is easy to forgive. It only lives, like everyone else. Here it is, nibbling its way through the seeds on the feeders/tables at Cannop Ponds.

I got another today, this one is a female. Cannop Ponds is teeming with them; an absolute photographers delight.
