Spring is back

At least it is here in Hertfordshire. Lovely sunny, warm day today, and I've spent the last hour rescuing visiting wildlife from my conservatory. So far a bumblebee I wasn't observant enough to identify properly, a comma and then a Brimstone butterfly, a hoverfly and a seven spot ladybird, who is now quite happy in the jar I used for the rescue and won't come out Various other unidentified insects are currently out of reach near the roof.

Nice here again, a bit chilly in the wind though but not stopping us from flashing up the BBQ this afternoon

It is lovely this afternoon here in Coventry. Plenty of Bees buzzing around. A few Peacock Butterfly's have been sunning themselves and I have had my first Brimstone butterfly exploring the various plants I have in the garden.

Why couldn't it have been like this since last Thursday?

A beautiful, sunny day in Essex after a cold, grey start .... but that wind is still a brisk north-easterly which is holding up the summer migrants.

A brisk NE in London with glorious blue skies + a male Brimstone was in the front garden. We had a walk in the country park at the top of the road + there was more insect interest than birds!!

A couple of Peacocks, 3 Small/GV Whites that wouldn't allow a proper ID , queens of Red-tailed + Common Carder Bees, c15 7-spot + a 2-spot Ladybird + a hoverfly that settled for an ID- Eupeodes luniger. Lots of Nursery-web Spiders, Pisaura mirabilis + Xysticus sp Crab Spiders basking.

Tomorrow is supposed to be even better, so fingers crossed!

Same weather down here. flippin' strong winds when your out on the heaths!
Saw Brimstone, Comma, couple of Red Admirals, loads of Bumble Bees (only one sat still long enough for me to ID it as Bombus terrestis), Dog Violets, Wood Spurge & the leaves of Round-leaved Sundew .

Been a fantastic weekend weather wise in kent, Have spent the whole time out in the garden. Have rebuilt a drystone wall and dug over and started to level one area... ( well it was level till steve decided to let the dogs up with us and they decided they wanted to help dig to!!!! )

Even the birds got use to us and carried on feeding which was great to watch.
