Original Hedgerow.
6 x Green-veined White, 1 x Speckled Wood. Sunny and hot all day. |
The Hard Shield Fern - Polystichum aculeatum - is now full-sized and the sori are beginning to form.
Soft Shield Fern hasn't been spotted, yet. |
I noticed this Click Beetle hanging under a leaf of the Cow Parsley. About 12 mm long.
|
Horse Chestnut - Aesculus hippeastrum - is in full flower at the moment. The sweet scent is noticeable from some distance away.
|
The Orange Tip egg from Monday has now turned orange. The larva will soon be inside the flower to the centre of the picture. |
