A red admiral butterfly resting on the wheelie bin box catching a few gentle sun rays. Friend has some burrowing wasps in his strawberry patch. As it’s bang next to a plum tree whose branches are loaded with plums and so many have dropped so the wasps are having a fine old time. But fortunately in a way the tree is right at the back of the garden . But not sure what he is going to do with the wasps .
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

A Bit Slower.
The vintage bus drove under the canopy of trees in the lane. The sunlight managed to get through in some places to lighten the dark green of the canopy. Then came upon a patch of thistles swaying in the wind. Just like days gone by when life was a bit slower.

Butterflies and Bush
The overgrown butterfly bush has quite a few butterflies on it . The contrast of the purple flowers and the butterflies is striking. A quiet breezy day otherwise. Even the birds are quiet. Not seen the roof scaling magpie or heard it for a while .

Return
The handsome dog fox has made a returned visit and he is as gorgeous as ever. He just looked at me said hello and went back to sleep. But it won’t be long and he be off on his travels again. Making the most of his company. It’s really a honour that he comes back every now and again. Bless him.

Suppers
Watching a heron watching the water for its supper. Two rarities, on the drive home a bat flew across the car, and in the field a bit further down the lane in an other field an owl swoops down catching its supper.

Waltz
Sitting watching the sunlight dancing across the small waves on the lake. It seems like the waves and the sun was dancing a waltz. 2 rooks playing chicken on the busy road. Mad they are .
