Swifts

The Swifts have finally gone. Not sure when as been away for two nights, but all quiet last night.

In the morning, there were ten species of butterfly in the garden, most of them on the same Buddleja bush…

Large White
Small White
Green-veined White
Red Admiral
Painted Lady
Peacock
Comma
Speckled Wood
Gatekeeper
Meadow Brown

We travelled to Norfolk to my parents in the afternoon to collect the children. The garden was full of Silver-Y moths, presumably recently arriving from the north coast?
