Gatekeeper butterfly

I refuse to comment on the weather; its raining! This is the Gatekeeper in its beautiful colours, there are plenty of them. In fact, its easy to trip over them, if they weren't so tiny!

Greenfinch (Cannop Ponds feeding centre)

Ah, what shall I do with this lot? Eat it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Small Copper butterfly (Wild Lydney)

Well, I have waited a year for this species, the Small Copper. Its not quite there, the photograph, not me, though I guess that you think that way.

Yellow-billed Kite

It was RAINING all day. Don't you get upset, I know that I am. It has come outside for a moment, there is a sunburst, but I think it wont last very long. You could live with at least three months of sunshine, that would be lovely!

Painted Lady butterfly (Wild Lydney)

It is hard to capture this one, no I'm only joking. It sat in front of me saying, please take my picture so I can be famous? Yes, I certainly will!
