We enjoyed the spectacle of three Painted Ladies, a Small Tortoiseshell, and two Small Whites competing to drink from the centranthus on the front wall this afternoon, along with a side show from two stunning male Southern Hawkers, which were … Continued

She’s very fresh, and surprisingly bold: I was trying to chase down a nervous Brown Hawker, which was ovipositing deep in some foliage, and came quite close to standing on this Southern Hawker because she completely ignored my approaching feet. … Continued

You would not, of course want to be looking around at the scenery if you were driving yourself along the M40; but if you’re ever a passenger in a car going south through what’s known as the Stokenchurch Gap, the … Continued

They’ll be charging me rent at Grove Hill soon, if I’m not careful. This morning I thought Four visits in four days really would feel like the beginning of a habit – I’ll go somewhere else today…. but the morning … Continued

R and I did gardening this morning (eeeurgh), and then, as the sun had come out again, I took myself off to Grove Hill and spent another happy hour sitting by the small pond, watching the dragons and damsels playing. … Continued

It was unexpectedly warm and bright today, which (of course) made me think about dragons, so I zoomed back over to Grove Hill to check out the ponds there, and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Reinforcing my suspicion that Odonata … Continued

My friend J’s parents own a nature reserve – how cool is that? When the million pound Premium Bond comes up, I am definitely buying a nature reserve. Theirs is relatively small by the standards of these things, but it’s … Continued

I was rummaging around in the long grass in Tilly’s field, looking for a grasshopper to photograph, when I inadvertently disturbed this Common Blue. He flew into the middle of the field and settled on this grass stalk, where he … Continued

Babe

At least, I think it’s a juvenile, rather than a moulting adult: it had the look of slight bemusement I associate with young birds when they’ve recently been kicked out of the nest. Today is R’s birthday (he’d rather I … Continued

Southern Hawker

One of Worcestershire Wildlife Trust’s flagship reserves, over on the west side of the Shire, is called the Knapp and Papermill. I’d never visited this site because, frankly, it’s an utter pain to get to from here; but last week … Continued
