July 15th 2009

Just waffle today. Not been out. Mark came round for a welcome chat armed with Apple Pie so while tempted to a slither we were entertained by Large White and Small Tortoiseshell butterflies on the garden flowers and six Swifts overhead. Also had this moth to identify which nearly caught me out but eventually came to me senses and realised it was a Shaded Broad-bar

Dave Ludlow kindly sent me this photo of Swallow’s nesting in a bus stop in Preston on Stour. By there size they will be leaving the nest soon and they are not the only pair I know of nesting in low buildings as Dave and Cym have them in their chicken coop in the valley along the Flecknoe Road.
