Hummingbird Hawk Moth
A survey by the British Trust for Ornithology has reported a four fold increase in the number of gardens recording a Hummingbird Hawk Moth in 2022. In previous years we have only occasionally caught a glimpse of them but we have seen them nearly everyday in our garden this year which has been great news for my photography practise! They are not easy to capture because they move so quickly so it has been a great challenge. I am still hoping for THE perfect shot!

Smooth Newt Juvenile
Current weather conditions have caused most of the water in the ornamental tree pond to evaporate so before switching on the tree fountain we needed to clear out the sludge to prevent the fountain filter getting blocked. We were so excited to find lots of juvenile newts in the sludge!
