Love all wildlife especially the birds, butterflies and adders of Dartmoor where I live.
My first Brown Hairstreak of the year a mile from my house. This female was searching for the perfect spot on the blackthorn to lay her eggs @bcdevon.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Mainly the male feeding chicks this morning. A morning of different eating speeds. The smaller insects they devour in seconds. The larger (unknown to me, any thoughts @lesserspotnet.bsky.social ?) morsels taking a while for them to grab. How many days to fledging?

Hole at the back of the lesser spot nest barely visible and not increasing in size. 16 visits in one hour between 9 and 10 this morning (before the rain). 9 male 7 female. Working hard. I think they'll fledge by Wednesday. @lesserspotnet.bsky.social #Birds
