The latest local walk has revealed some hope in relation to butterflies.
The improved weather conditions recently has also helped flower growth.
There is also more activity in the Farming World.

This tractor had just been used to turn hay in the field behind the tractor.
Crossing the river is the only access to that field.
This shot of the Male Gatekeeper is the first of this species I have seen this year.
It is also quite early for this butterfly to be on the wing.

The female Banded Demoiselle below was quite active, but the male was rarely observed at that location.

Walking down a Farm track I heard the song of a Corn Bunting.
It was on top of a bush and I was able to get two shots before it flew off.
Unfortunately I only had a short lens and had to crop the images.
Hei Roy. Sinulla on ollut mielenkiintoista kuvattavaa. Siellä on tosi kaunista.

DeleteBonjour Roy. Merci pour toutes ces belles photos. Je n'ai jamais vu par chez moi d'alouette des champs, quel bel oiseau. Tout pareil pour l'avaler et le bruant des genêts. Belle journée au milieu de cette belle nature, Roy.
