I wandered down to the local nature reserve in the evening in the hope of finding the dragonflies again, but it was probably a bit late, so tried capturing bees in flight on the borage field. Borage is the most amazingly hairy plant.
Three good things:
1. Cleared the bin store/bike shed floor from the leaf mould after asking the gardeners to take away the cleared scrub (on Wednesday)
2. Two wanders out with my daughter round town.
3. Gloriously sunny day, although windy and cool;
Thank you for looking and your amazing support for the Painted Lady butterfly. I am still catching up, slowly and will look at your pictures if you post below rather than thank you individually.
Used to have this in my garden. Pretty blue flowers and, If I remember correctly it smelled like cucumber if you broke one of the branches, and yes, very hairy!
