We are back in Lockdown, all sightings posts from observers should only be in their very local area (town, village or part of city). Any posts where the observer is obviously travelling distances to other sites will be deleted, Devon Birds will not edit these posts.

1 Small Copper & a pair of Wall Browns which mated.
While perched on blades of grass she vibrated her wings to signal to the male she was ready to mate. I have never seen this behaviour before.
