Sunshine

At 02:26 hours this morning we had the most amazing thunder and lightening storm which lasted a good half hour. Today was a scorcher, I spent most of it indoors though. Mr Woodpecker came around but didn't bring his new baby along with him, which was a shame. The baby Blue Tits where here in force and were joined on the fat feeder by a juvenile Great Tit. I spotted a Black Butterfly today, never seen one before, The outside of its wings looked brown and had markings on but when he opened his wings up the inside was black with no markings. I only managed a quick snap shot before it flew off. Berney the Squirrel showed her face today, not seen her in ages. She didn't seem to mind the heat.

Over the past few days the army have been flying their Helicopters very low. The big ones like this can make the roof shake on the house and sends all the wildlife away.
