A round of the garden
Posted 09-08-2008 at 11:45 AM by leifus
Round of the garden this morning brought 4 butterflies: meadow browns, large whites, gatekeepers and an essex skipper which I had great views of because it stayed around for ages!
Dark bush crickets sung from the long grass and I occasionally spotted one spying on me from behind a leaf. Also, there was a sloe bug feeding on some hogweed.
Flowers growing on an abandoned vegetable patch included groundsel, scarlet pimpernel, white campion, great mullein, smooth sow-thistles and some spear-leaved orache.
In the meadow grew black medick, its green fruits starting to turn black, the pyramidal orchid have finished flowering and been replaced by lots of rough hawkbit. Still some common toadflax along the side of the path though.
