Belly in the Dirt Day

It's been another belly in the dirt photography day today. Lots of insects of all shapes and sizes but first an update on the Blue Tit Chicks. As I said yesterday , I kept 'Cheeky' the stray in overnight and oh what a night! Of all nights he decided to have a bad belly and ended up throwing up and having diarrhea all over the house. Not nice. But the Chicks were saved. Today we came up with the brainwave of taking the flower boxes off the side of the Summer House so Cheeky couldn't get up there It was only two screws and didn't disturb the parents at all. So fingers crossed. Back to the bugs... My mum and I watched as this Cabbage White Butterfly tried for hours to land on my Pak Choi Lettuce. I think he wanted to land and lay his legs but the netting was stopping him. In the end I felt so sorry for him that I pulled off a leaf for him and placed it on top of the netting just so he could land! This Beetle was happy in my wild patch. Still loads of cranefly's everywhere. And lots of Buzzy things too. The wild patch is full of grasses which look gorgeous at this time of year. I spotted this flower too, lovely pink.
