Round the town centre.
1 x Large White male, 1 x Orange Tip male, 2 x Green-Veined White. Mixed sun, rain and drizzle. |
This male Large White - Pieris brassicae - led me a merry dance as it fed and chased various smaller white butterflies. This is the most difficult specimen of the year so far.
|
Yet another rust - this time on Cow Parsley. Probably Puccinia chaerophylli. |
This is the first glimpse of the Hedge Woundwort, surrounded by the ever popular Ground Elder. |
The first shoots of the Hedge Bindweed are appearing, now. It will wind its way through the lower branches of the Hawthorn. |
Herb Bennet - Geum urbanum - has now flowered at an appropriate time. I photographed an aberrant specimen about 6 weeks ago.
