The sun is shining & it is pleasantly warm! We must celebrate! Perhaps this is the start of summer, tomorrow is St Swithuns day remember…

Sometimes you really don’t need to go far to spot something special. We went to Chew Valley Lakes & the picnic site, to take advantage of the fine weather. From the car park we chose, the view of the lake was blocked by lakeside reeds. Did we see any water fowl? The only birds I saw were magpies! It was a disappointing excursion from a wild point of view. But when I returned home I saw something unusual on the house wall.

I don’t know how, but my moth seemed gifted in finding an exact colour match! It’s as if he popped down to Homebase & picked up a colour chart to find the perfect shade he needed. I just got lucky in noticing a raised bump on the wall – that was my moth. Now, I’m not a fan of large moths at night when they are flying, but here in broad daylight, I cannot help but marvel at the detail on the wings. It is stunning.
