Diversity
As it is #Pridemonth I thought it would be good to celebrate some of the diversity visiting the garden.
This female Greenfinch visited on the same day that a Great-spotted Woodpecker came to peck insects from tree bark (unfortunately a missed photo opportunity).
This Goldfinch comes every day to feast on Nyger seeds usually as a pair. Pretty little things and so sociable chatting away in the tree canopy.
This Longhorn Beetle feeding on the nectar from a Rogersia was a lucky find as they live as adults for just 2-4 weeks.
This Speckled Wood butterfly sunning itself by the pond is a regular summer visitor to this part of the garden. I love sitting watching them circling around in pairs above the water.
A new adult Dragonfly emerges from its Nymph discarded on the stem to the right. Soon it will open its wings and find the courage to make its first flight.
A Small Red Damselfly (we have lots of blue ones too) relaxes on this Hosta leaf.
So much to see when your heart and eyes are open.
