Good morning and welcome to another brand new week. We've started it with drizzle here but the garden is thirsty at the moment so I'm glad the plants are getting a drink and I won't need to water them myself. The weekend has been jam-packed full of activity but we did break out for an hour's wandering and I picked up my camera for the first time in May - true! Though these pictures today are still from April, I have loads left to get through so this instalment is all the birds and beasties from a particular day. I adore the swan shots! Hope you find these enjoyable too.





Above, buzzard.
Below, chaffinch.

Wagtail?
Deer making a dash for it.


Bee
Hare

No, it's not a rabbit with giant whiskers. This poppet was in the process of [presumably] taking more bedding back to it's burrow.
Below, it's a blighted shot but it's the only one I managed of the orange tip butterfly and I've seen so many in flight but they just refuse to land!

Red admiral


Have a brilliant week, won't you?
Take care,
Sophie
