Splendid effort once again . The dragonfly caught my attention as you could see the abdomen pulsating as it was basking in the sun.

Thank you jacksparrow. more variety this time round. Can be rather hit and miss At times. Got lucky.

Willpar.
Opening sequence of the agapanthus, I thought the plant behind it was a variety of sea holly but seeing it again at 2.33 I reckon it's one of the alliums, which is very good .
The knapweed pics were quite a surprise because mine have finished flowering already although I don't know why. As you illustrate, butterflies, and everything else!, simply love them.
Lovely video.

Thank you Placi. The type of alliums you pointed out seem to be a magnate for the bees. Taking a bit more notice, I have come to realize just what a lovely flower that type of thistle is, and another magnate for bees. Very pleased I managed to get a nice variety this time.

Stumped by the weather? Chill out, relax, and lose yourself with an enchanting video.

That was lovely, Willpar . Whatever the black and white thingy was on the ledge, it looked biiiiig .
Left the best 'til last: the teasel was quite a surprise, and earlier there are knapweeds still in flower; mine are long gone.

Great stuff Willpar. I think the moth is a Tiger Moth. ~Super Butterfly shots too.

Thanks both. The foal was just a day old when I seen it. Was still a bit wobbly. I don't know what the little butterfly/moth is on the blade of grass, but it was smaller than the nail on my little finger. Still some interesting stuff around.

I thought the foal was very young. What was interesting was the fact that when it decided to get up from its rest, it jumped onto all 4 feet simultaneously which was quite a co-ordinated feat for a learner !!

I had the same species of Moth in my garden a few years back. I could only find a latin name for it and I have forgotten what it was.
