Glorious July

 Common Knapweed  - Centaurea nigra this is all over my back garden.

 Currant Gall on Oak

 Can you see the tiny green bug not got an ID yet only spotted it when I was editing my photos, looks like a very tiny cricket

 This is to commemorate all the lives lost in war - it is in the village Memorial Gardens

The scent told us the Mock-orange - Philadelphus coronarius was in flower

Take Care

Sunday 8 June

Another sunny morning that had all sorts of goodies out for us to look at.

I had to put three photos up of this tiny (less than an inch across) day flying moth, I counted over 10 fluttering about on the rucks - I had never seen them before but perhaps I just did not notice them, any way a first sighting for me.

I loved the colour and the white tinge to the wing edge

 Chimney Sweep -  Odezia atrata

 Chimney Sweep -  Odezia atrata

 Common Bistort  - Persicaria bistorta

 Currant Gall - Neuroterus quercusbaccarum another of the galls that the oak is host to.

Sputnik Spider - Paidiscura pallens found it on the same oak tree we found the weird spider egg sac last year.

I am still waiting for an ID for this snail - looked like a Rams Horn, but not quite right.
