Recent building-site near the Swilly estuary.
1 x Small White. Cloudy but dry. |
Recently-disturbed soil is a magnet for species such as Redleg - Persicaria maculosa (right) - and Fat Hen - Chenopodium album - (left centre). The disturbed soil is the result of a new building site: another good habitat gone.
|
Disturbed soil is also good for Knotgrass. |
A solitary Helophilus pendulus hoverfly basking on a leaf.

The Shaded Broadbar moth - Scotopteryx chenopodiata. |
Thistledown is starting to fly from Spear Thistle. |
I really liked this shot of a Small White butterfly nectaring on Creeping Thistle, backlit by sun filtering through a hedge.
