Delights of the day...

The main pool carpeted with a layer of green duckweed...

a Little egret hoping for a look in...

but a Heron plays, 'I'm the king of the castle'...

and a delicate Holly Blue butterfly suns itself on the path...

A Wren collecting food for her family...

and Azure Damselflies creating symmetry with reflections ...

Goldfinch in a willow sapling today...

A Starling in the sunlight...

A female Common Blue Butterfly on a sheltered path in the meadow...

It's ladybird season down the meadow...
