honeysuckle cottage

honeysuckle growing on the wall of Spike's house (just across the road from us)

Lynher walk 3

in the green cathedral

Lynher walk 2

let's all go down to the Hogweed and hang out (longhorn beetles)


or maybe we prefer the Bramble, it's quieter (male and female demoiselle agrion)

Lynher walk

some images from our walk today.

inner ringlet

further to the picture several days ago, this shows the upper wings of the ringlet butterfly. There are relatively few species of butterfly about at present, but there seem to be hundreds of moths about at night.

the creamy yellow flowers of our native honeysuckle are bursting through the upper layers of the hedgerows, and above them a yellow hammer is singing his heart out.
