    Spotted in June

    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…

    16-Jun-24: Sparrowhawk having predated a small bird on the lawn.
    19-Jun-24: A sedge in Little Venice that I identified belatedly as Remote Sedge.
    28-Jun-24: Greater-spotted woodpecker at the peanuts.
    12-Jun-24: Jay in the alders. I can see two eyes, a white nose and a roaring mouth!
