Butterflies

Brown Argus (I think!) - my favourite butterfly so far this year

Meadow Brown

Small Copper

Small White

After staying up late to add the finishing touches to I and the Bird #28, it's back to normal with some insect shots from lunchtime.

It's way too hot at the moment to do anything very strenuous. We Brits just aren't used to 32 degrees Celsius!

There's a bit of a theme here. Insects seem to love Verbena. For this reason, I am trying to grow some from seed on my windowsill. From c120 seeds sown in the compost, only six have germinated, but they're doing OK.

As happy as a bee in pollen
