What have you seen

What’s in the jar Nevers?

Sun's out 😃 bit breezy but just seen my first Brimstone of the year. Bring it on 😆

Lots of feeding and nesting birds too 😆😆

OH just informed me he's seen newt in the pond this morning and we have frogs spawn 😃. Been to wet to walk that far on the grass for weeks!

Hi OP, sorry for the late reply.

The jar feeder is called Wild Bird Peanut Butter we get it from B+M, only £1.99 and that includes the green cage and perch.

If your store does not stock it, Wilko sell one similar for £4, this also includes a holder in the shape of a little house. HERE

Lots of birds love it especially the woodpeckers. I had to fit the guttering cover above it to stop the starlings and magpies.

What do I know....Blue tit is half way through building its nest....wish I had focussed the camera before this.  Not risk disturbing the birds now.

Thanks Nevers, will get some.

Butterfly's in the garden this morning, Red Admiral, Peacock and Little Tortoiseshell.  Uplifting to see. 

The nightingales have arrived here have heard 3 and see 1 around our field and Scarce Swallowtail and Swallowtail now about plus many other butterflies which have been later this year in the Lot.

Weather very warm 28 deg phew.

Our swallowtails usually appear mid May followed by a second trunch late July.  I will have to check Strunpshaw and Hickling sightings.

Good day at RSPB Pulborough Brooks with 2 x Nightingales, Great White Egret, Bull Finch, Song Thrushes and Black Caps.

Have checked and no Swallowtails reported at Strumpshaw yet.

This fine weather has brought out the Peacock Butterflies up here, We saw lots yesterday in High Stand woods and again today near Dumfries. There were also at least 3 Woodpeckers hammering away this morning in the woods,
