Another busy day in the back garden building a waterproof roof for the chickens, not that there's any rain on they way, but we must get some soon surely!
Lot of Small Whites on the Lavender along with several Honey Bees and a Red-tailed Cuckoo-bee. Also seen were a Pied Hoverfly, Marmalade Hoverfly and a Common Drone Fly, none of which stayed still long enough for a photo. One hoverfly that did stay still was a Long Hoverfly (Sphaerophoria scriptaa).
Overhead 20+ Swifts drifted south, screaming away as they do and soon after a pair of Swallows passed through.
Here are a few photos from today:
One of the Honey Bees visiting the lavender........
.......and another on the Scabious.
Also the Scabious one of the resident Red-tailed Cuckoo-bees
And the garden plot with a hanging banana which I hope will attract more Commas.
