Common Blue Butterfly

It's a nice butterfly, the first that I've seen around here this summer. Last year it disappeared due to it being an atrocious summer. I hope that it will stay a bit longer this time.

The Goslings at Lydney lake

There are 14 of them, cuddly aren't they? After the anglers had tried hard to get rid of them, they are here again. I can't blame the anglers for wanting them gone, but somebody keeps putting new ones on the lake. Maybe they need to investigate who it is?

Found growing on a rubbish tip

What was I doing on a rubbish tip, well I was looking for a Grey Wagtail. I couldn't catch one, so it had to stick with the flower.

The Orange-tip was a nice surprise, though last year it had come earlier. It must have been that global warming has taken the year off!

Jay at Cannop Ponds

I caught the Jay this morning, it's the first that I have photographed. It was so beautiful. It's all there, only not all, because there is a part missing from its tail.
