In the early hours DH muttered :There's someone moving around outside: so up we got to investigate.

We have a metal gate in the side passage, male and female 🦔 s had met on either side, neither would give way.  So they were head banging each other ....... at the same time we found a very large black all over moth : Pippestrelle size : on the wall.  Trying to identify it now.  Not a Death Head .

Was watching QI last night and one of their facts was that robins rarely live up to two years and the likelihood of seeing the same Robin in your garden two years on the trot would be a rarity.Also the red breast is a "keep away" sign and the bigger the red breast the more dominant the male is AND they will attack ferociously anything red,even a tomato 
Was fascinating,mind you,you probably knew all that

Always good to hear nature news ;-).  Our robin parents bring their young to our feeders  so who knows how old they might be.

Two small hogs here last night

Rare twin giraffes have been born at a national park in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, the country's tourism minister has said.

There is a thrush in our garden collecting wet soil

I was so pleased to see the first hummingbird hawkmoth of the year on the buddleia. Unfortunately the sparrows were happy to see it too. Breakfast!

I took a beautiful picture of an ermine moth the other day,so beautiful

[CLKD]

We've had ermine moths too.  As well as a large brown Vulcan-shaped moth.  Bats; pippestrelle and Noctural.  (sps). 

Nature in the raw Taz?

Saw our woodpecker for the first time in ages today,merrily pecking on a telegraph pole,he gives me a sore head just watching him

I heard a green woodpecker earlier this evening when out in a field.  No sky larks this year 

[Taz2]

Think all of your skylarks were here this year! All dispersed now that breeding is done and the hay/wildflower meadow has been cut.

I love the green woodpeckers. Have one here looking for the ants.

I think that birds use ants to dislodge parasites in the feathers?

[CLKD]

FabULUS sunsets these last few nights   

[Taz2]

Green woodpeckers eat them.

Last night we had a hare in the field ....... not seen 1 for several years  It seemed quite relaxed even with the red kite above
