Mosquito? Not sure what this insect is but it seemed larger than our regular mosquitoes? There were several flying in and around the Salix Triandra? My photograph unfortunately does not really give enough definition. I googled the image, the result came back as possible Firefly?
Orange Tip Butterfly female, the male is obviously easier to identify. This one had me foxed until I saw M&F together, every day is a school day!! Beautiful veins on the underside of wings too.
"Mr Prickles" or maybe Mrs Prickles?! Keeps visiting the garden and eating any remaining nuts that Roy has left out for the birds. One morning Prickles was so tired he had a little lay down on the wall in the sun. It was a perfect opportunity to take a photograph of his beautiful feet.
Reed Bunting at Welney Wetland Centre. Welney certainly lived up to its name the footpaths were all closed due to flooding. The good news is we have a voucher to go back again FOC once it is all open again.
Surprise visit from two Red Legged Partridge in our front garden. After half an hour foraging in the flower beds they wandered back down the drive!
Two Apache helicopters flanked by a Cessna flying over Thurlby. There have recently been numerous military exercises taking place.
