This morning, from an upstairs window we spotted a Peacock butterfly settle on the back of the house in full sun, where it remained for 5 minutes. It's the first butterfly to add to this year's list of sightings from the window, which is pretty good considering its a very small garden near a busy main road.
Other sightings include Goldcrest, Waxwing, Kestrel, Jay, Blue Tit, Goldfinch, Great Tit, Long Tail Tit, Blackbird, Robin, Wren, Greenfinch, Wood Pigeon, Magpie and a Pipistrelle Bat.
It's good to see you 'popping up' on my Blog List from time to time Linda, this time with the Peacock from your window.
ReplyDeleteA nice angled shot of the Peacock. You forget how dark the underwings are.
ReplyDeleteHello Pete, thanks. I do seem to have got out of the habit for a few weeks, trying to get back into the swing of things now though.
ReplyDeleteHello Johnny, they really are darker than I remembered, always nice to see butterflies so close to home.
Best wishes, Linda
What a catch for your collection this year! Good thing it stayed long enough for you to take a picture of it.
