Painted Lady

The main interest birdy - wise is the seventy plus House Sparrows coming daily to my garden feeders including of course many youngsters , I have no doubt that the visiting Sparrowhawk and other natural dangers will make sure that numbers through the year will steadily reduce. With things a bit quiet on the birding front its good that with the year now becoming sunnier the butterflies are flying well. Have enjoyed several Painted Ladies in the garden recently. (not the human variety).
