Yes, they really seem to enjoy the fleabane. Had another by the dragonfly pond a week or so ago. Hopefully, the pond will be replenished soon as the level is desperately low!

Clouded yellow butterfly

Quiet bird wise at Cosmeston with 8 stock doves and pairs of stonechat and sparrowhawks the best. Nice to see good numbers of common blue and a couple of clouded yellow enjoying the fleabane.

Can someone help id this carder bee?

Cracking birding up the hills today..Dotterel at Cwm Cadlan and ring ouzel at Cerrig-glesiad. Bit hot though! Standard comedy photos...

Beautiful morning and it felt a real privilege to do my first BTO BBS visit of the year. Birding highlights were pintail, curlew and skylark #birdingwales

Finally caught up with a wheatear this spring with one on the barrage this evening. Spot the birdie! Also my first singing reed and willow warblers earlier in the day. #birdingwales

Butterfly! First of the year for me #spring

Managed 52 bird species on my local walk today including the skulkiest of Dartford Warblers

It's probably not too difficult to guess which of the 5 pictured birds I spotted this lunchtime at Parc Tredelerch.

In addition, a couple of male pochard were good to see as not that common here. Teal and common sand on the river.

At the third attempt, finally caught up with the black-throated diver at Barry dock #BirdingWales

Built myself a hedgehog highway. They should be able to squeeze through there..
