My first ruby tiger moth.
Carefully removed from the polytunnel after a couple of quick photos so I could ID him.

Bumblebees both having a good feed after I rescued from the tunnel on with a stem of sage flowers.

Not the best photo. 7 spot ladybird sat in the centre of a sunflower. That’s just starting to bud.
There was a definite double take when I saw it. First one in 13 years.

A face you really don't want to see peering through the hedge into your garden!

   

Just a boar on his own, rather than the entire family like last time, so not much sign of rooting around.

Came across this behind a shed.



   



It is the middle of a grass snake. It did show its head briefly but I was too slow. It then slithered away into a pile of wood.

Not my idea of a good thing, but interesting in your garden Mark.

His lunch I think is a male highland darter

I was stood in front of the buddleia doing my butterfly count and this beauty turned up for a feed.
Butterfly count went out the window. And I just had the pleasure of watching this amazing beautiful creature for as long as it stayed. Hummingbird hawk moth .
