The warm sunshine today seems to have got all the local wildlife moving, the meadow was positively heaving with butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies. First though a Song Thrush from early this morning before I grudgingly headed off to work.
Little Brown Job
Bird & wildlife photography, often from the garden to fit in with a hectic lifestyle but now and again from further afield.

Feral Pigeon
This is a first for the garden, a Feral Pigeon and this one looks more or less the same as the Rock Dove they're all descended from. I don't normally give these a second glance in the town or city centre but they do look stunning. Maybe they are escaping to the suburbs, tired of being urban Peregrine fodder.

Azure Damselfly down at the meadow, one day I'll be able to tell the difference from Common Blue without consulting this excellent page:

Female Orange Tip
Something else I don't normally see at the meadow, normally it's Meadow Browns, Peacocks and Speckled Woods.
Burnet Moth Caterpillar
Burnet Moth caterpillar at the meadow yesterday, it's the first time I've seen them, they are normally emerging as black and red moths by the time I catch up with them.
