NO GATEKEEPER!!! Ah well not complaining had best ever total of 71 others in garden in one go. In regard to the Buddleias only a few flowers left, will have to prune them at different times next year. And of course when Colin gives me those Marjoram cuttings it should be nailed on I'll get the 'keeper next year lol Having upwards of 30 House Sparrows in front garden every day is a sight to behold, can't keep pace with the hunger lol Kind regards Max |

1st October update. Well, that's more or less the " butterfly year " over in the garden. About half a dozen species managed to appear regularly up to about 25th September, but since then, despite some fine weather, there has been a steady decline with only Whites still around plus the very occasional Red Admiral, Painted Lady, Small Tortoiseshell or Comma, especially with the most attractive nectar sources dying off. Perhaps others, eg. with late flowering Buddleia, have had better results recently. The predicted massive explosion of Painted Ladies scheduled for August and September never really took off with much the same numbers being maintained as for July,admittedly still very considerable and unprecedented in recent years. Predictions can certainly be unreliable - especially those about the future. Regards, Freddy |

28 October postscript After a number of blank days in the garden,I was surprised to note this morning : Brimstone (male) - repeatedly entering / exiting gaps in a large Ivy cluster (5-10 minutes); finally settling on an external Ivy leaf in the sun. Comma - flitting around in the bright sunshine. Regards, Freddy |
