Locally
Large Blues are starting to increase. Yesterday I saw one and today at the same place I saw three. Even though I was early both days, it was already so warm and sunny they refused to open their wings, even when I purposefully stood between them and the sun so they were in shade they stubbornly refused to play ball.
At home
I found a moth in the sitting room. I think it is 'The Fern'.
And in the garden, a Scarlet Tiger Moth flew through without stopping
I spent a valuable afternoon removing wildlife from my sitting room. First it was that moth, then the cat brought in a live mouse so I had to extricate it from the jaws of the cat and deposit it outside so it could run off then a fly came in and I spent more time than I really wanted to trying to shoo it out of an open window.
Foxy Feature
Same afternoon I heard a loud scream coming from our back garden. I rushed out to find a small fox running away and our cat with a smug look on his face, victorious against this 'puny' opposition.
