Day 2 in the back garden and another 5 hours trying to tidy it up, but also leaving enough "set-aside" for the insects.
It was another warm sunny day, but this time with a bit of a south-westerly breeze.
Not too many highlights as my head was down again, though I did look up a couple of times when the local Buzzard flew over, along with a Raven.
No butterflies today or the two male Blue-tailed Damselflies seen yesterday!!
