20th August

Bird-wise it’s been very quiet. A Kingfisher has taken up its usual late summer residence on the Magic Garden lake. A Swift was over the village yesterday (along with three Buzzards) and around 50 Swallows were feeding low over the village green.

On the insect front the pick of the sightings was this Small Copper butterfly in the Magic Garden. This is the first I’ve seen in the village for many years…


Also there today, along with the usual whites, were half a dozen Speckled Woods…


Red Admiral, Peacock and two Walls.

The first Migrant Hawkers were seen last week. Both female…


and male...


But this Common Darter was the only other dragonfly seen today…
