Willow Warbler (Parkend)

It is cropped, as you can see. It's a long way away, but it is beautiful. The wonderful sound that comes out of its beak is melodious. It last for an age, or close to it.

Peacock butterfly (Harbour Road, Lydney)

The back of the Peacock butterfly. I found it when I was chasing after the Brimstone butterfly, but it was too fast in and out of bushes.

Green Tiger Beetle (Boys Grave)

Not due until May, but that isn't bad, we are almost in May. The Green Tiger Beetle is ferocious, it runs away when you get too close! It is an active predator, it really is. It is seen May - July.

Orange-tip butterfly (Harbour Road, Lydney)

It's a good looking butterfly, a lot of them around at this time of year. It starts flying in April - July, and that is all you get.

The nice man who helped in getting a gate for the piece of land, has done it! Well done Mike, from the Gloucestershire county council, it makes you think, its the person who makes it.

Tufted Ducks (Harbour Road, Lydney)

I said that I would update you about the Wild Boar, but I am on my way out for a short time. Maybe you have to wait, sorry!
