Five photos taken in the garden this morning
Orange Tip Butterfly - it has been eluding me and my camera for the last three days but finally today it settled on the heather.
Robin takes a bath and a rest from sitting on eggs and finding food.
First signs of bluebells, we will miss walking in Hem Heath woods this year but unfortunately they are a short drive away so therefore not within walking distance. It's one of the seasonal events I always look forward to.
Wood Avens - it has taken us three years to try and eradicate this invasive plant from the garden as it completely takes over if allowed. Unfortunately it's back in two or three places including between the steps up to the path.
Blue Borage - I love the fuzzy stems and the bright blue petals.
I have decided, for the next few weeks, to record five things each morning.
The first bird call I hear on waking
The first bird I see on the feeders
The first bird I see in the air
The first butterfly I see in the garden
The first mammal I see in the garden
So today it was:-
Wood Pigeon
Goldfinch
Herring Gull
Orange Tip
The fluffy brown cat from two doors along.
All for now, stay safe and have a peaceful weekend.
