Wood Whites showing well at Meeth Quarry today

Well,  I was excited to see this on Richmond Walk in Devonport, Plymouth this morning Sunday 29th

Always good to see a Green Hairstreak, this one sheltering from a fresh SE. 28.2C in the sun at 15.00 in our garden! By 18.00 it will probably be over 30C.

Red-veined Darter over winter wheat field!

A different visitor to the bird feeder this morning.  Photographed through the study window at Budleigh Salterton, EX9.  It has been seen before,  see photo of earlier date: but climbing onto the feeder is a new trick.
