With warmer, brighter weather, there were quite a few butterflies, bees and hoverflies augmenting the fly population today. The buddleias even managed some visitors, which hasn't been that common a sight this year. The flies were of course dominant and serious onslaughts to their presence have not been made so far from any natural source. The Spider, while doing her best, is more inclined to treat her prey as an Irish publican would treat a pint of Guinness. Slowly. This cannot deal with volume trade, although she is fattening with her new enriched diet.
On the roof of the shed a young robin practiced his Blackbird sun-worship technique, but couldn't hold the splayed wings and the pant for long.
Mad Millie has been very calm of late. This may mean a scheme hatching or may mean she also is moulting, but instead of driving her mad it has driven her sane..... Her saunter is currently free of sachay and sway! Very disconcerting. Davison enjoyed his trip out, not staying long enough to get overheated. What would they all do if this was normal August weather!
Sundance started his day very early, so was free to go European and thoroughly enjoyed his siesta.
