Although my project has now finished, I am still spotting things in the garden and watermeadow and I was wondering what to do about that. So, I figured I would save the photos in a folder and maybe do a monthly post, now all the evaluating and concluding has finished.
I couldn’t resist a photo of the speckled wood. It’s one of my favourite butterflies. It was also the same day (11 June) I spotted a heron in one of next door’s trees.

I don’t know if you can spot it too, it’s quite well camouflaged, but look for the eye just above the centre to the left! Other notable spottings in June are below…
