    Ooooooh! I wonder if ours have appeared? We have a fair few that hang around my urban neck of the woods, a group of about 20. I'll go and have a butchers, seeing as how it's been a lovely warm day they might turn up. DD

    I saw five flutterbups yesterday, all different, and some lovely furry beebly-bums. I despatched one fat bluebottle with some gusto (I loathe them) but have yet to spot any snails. DD

    Massive bumble bees have been the order of the day today...woodpeckers for the last couple of weeks...so lovely they are on the increase around here. Must admit not seen main deer as i use to but there has been a lot of building done and the usual routes the deer use to take have been blocked.
    Plenty of pheasants... yum yum...i know out of season ...oh well.
