A Few More From The Garden

Post by PimperneBloke »

Finally managed to get out for an hour this morning, before the rain, so a catch up of the last few days in the garden

See your garden ain't that quiet after all, you should spend more time in it than wanting to always go out on adventures ๐Ÿ˜‚ (says me that just had to go out on Saturday to Caerlaverock ๐Ÿ˜‹) Must admit I have a soft spot for the doves , they tend to visit early in morning here...not that I get them too often...Nice variety PB

I have not yet seen a small tortoiseshell, they used to be one of the most common garden butterflies around here :( Nice selection PB. I have the doves, never on the feeder though. They patrol under it, waiting for the goldfinch discards...
