Ted wasn't feeling it today. He had a chewy treat yesterday, which unfortunately didn't sit well with him. So it was a chill out day for him in his bed. Poor Ted.
Today then was spent doing household chores, a bit of work in the back garden, with the odd break to see what was about and also to keep an eye on Ted.
Despite not going on a walk, I did at least find a new moth for my Portland Moth List. As I was tying back the Jasmine I disturbed a moth which flew up and landed under a Holly leaf. I managed one photo before it flew off, fortunately the phot was good enough to see that it was an Elder Pearl (Anania coronata)
