Re: Pot Pourri
Time to drop in the Wild Westcountry video. New life at the lake, and what's on the Valerian?

I like your bag full of caterpillars William
Nice to see the hummingbird hawk moth, I saw my first one of the year last week. Another lizard and those baby swans were cute...

Thank you JS, The HBHM was not far from here. Went over there 4 mornings in a row to get some clips at 0800.

Re: Pot Pourri
If I knew what Valerian was, I'd love to help out 
As the others said, fab footage of the Hummingbird Hawkmoth, I've yet to see one this year.... I'm waiting for next doors buddliea to bloom, as that's where I've always seen mine!
Some more lizard- whispering is good to see, and I don't think I've ever seen Swollen Thigh Beetles interacting (fighting or procreating I'm not sure!!)
Thanks for sharing William

Re: Pot Pourri
Wow what a variety of birds, beasties bugs and wildlife you found in past month, just shows you what you can find if you take the time to look!
Pardon the Scottish accent
Re: Pot Pourri
Thank you PB, if you did find valerian plants, they come up every year, did think my self about putting some in big pots, as it looks like they could spread a lot. But they are nectar rich for butterflies and the HBHM. A nice mixed bag For May.
Re: Pot Pourri
This is the second try getting this video up.
June was most challenging but got there in the end. Some flowers, waterbirds and local history.
