Red Admiral

Still sunny. Still hot... one day I'll get to blip about rain again lol

And it's been an extremely quiet day in the garden, not even any birdsong as our neighbours, who don't like wildlife, put up one of those plastic owl statues yesterday on their balcony to stop birds... and it appears to have stopped them from coming to our garden too.... gggrrrrr I'm hoping it's just a temporary blip and the birds will work out that the scary owl is just plastic and won't harm them!  Some of the smaller birds - a robin, blue tit and some sparrows have braved the garden since, but it feels so odd without the others. I'm even missing the wood pigeons and their incessant coo-ing LOL!

But there has some butterfly action to lift my spirits and this Red Admiral had fun going crazy round in circles.

A day of sport watching and taking it easy!
