I decided it was too hot to go far, so stuck to home territory, hope you enjoy... and some are worth a bit of a zoom-in!

All the fun of the English country garden. The flying sparrow was unexpected.

I bet the book never got opened with all them lovelies to photograph nice mint moth

Great macro photo's PB, I have made a note to look out for some of those species... Need to check my mint moth bush, seen none this year yet.

Thanks Jack, I like to pop a little surprise in, now and again

Yeah, it did... everything sort of happens in waves in our garden, it'll die down for 15 minutes, then be a flurry of activity for 5

Thanks Snappy, didn't know what would turn up, but the Mint Moth just sat on the lavender with the bee's whirling about for a good couple of hours!
