I finally managed to get a reasonable photo of a small yellow underwing moth in the garden. This was taken with my phone, so it isn't perfect.

These two insects looked interesting as they both had a bright red dot on them. After examining the photo, I can see that they're planthoppers both with a parasite egg attached. Nasty.

Our star of Bethlehem bulbs are flowering in one of our grassy swards. They're difficult to see in the photo - much more impressive in real life.

There are a few small argent and sable moths flying around the garden.

I spotted another whinchat near the garden today. Still no red-backed shrikes though.

A manky pine marten has been hanging about under our bird feeders this week. He's been eating the sunflower seeds, but I'm pretty sure he's up to no good (looking to catch a bird or a squirrel).

We've only seen yellow wagtails on a couple of occasions. Today there were two down by the pond.
