Thanks Goldie. The fox(s) have been back a few times but I have'nt managed any more photos.
A Glimpse of Spring ?
We have had all sorts of weather here this past week or so, from pleasant sunshine (Monday 13th), to dull and damp fog (most of Tuesday 14th) and frosty mornings (Wednesday 15th). Yesterday (Thursday 16th) was one of those non-event sort of days with lots of cloud and sort of feeling milder but still jumper and winter coat weather.
Today (Friday) was much better and despite a blustery wind, there was enough sun to make it feel rather pleasant. In fact when the wind dropped occasionally it would feel like a proper spring day at last. After popping round to see my mom this morning and then doing a bit of shopping, I decided to have a walk down to my local spot at Wagon Lane to see if anything had been tempted out.
At first all I saw were a few dead leaves being blown about but around half way around my normal circuit I spotted a brighter looking orange spot by some brambles and sneaked up for closer look. This proved to be a Comma, my first of the year and my second butterfly so far, making it the first time that I have ever seen more than a single species in February.
This was the only butterfly seen and looking at the forecast for the next few days here I don't expect there will be any more just yet.
Bye for now,
Neil.
