I think I now have two hogs visiting. My daughter could hear them when she went out the back of the house about midnight and all the food was eaten.

While out and about this morning, two Red Admirals, a Peacock and a Speckled Wood.

It is surprising what difference a few fine days make.

My first Holly Blue of the year today which was delightful.

Not good news JS. Hopefully it wont come back.

I did not see it today.
