Green Hairstreak, Holly Blue, male Whitethroat & calling waders

Spent most of the day in the garden, today, Saturday 9th May, it was lovely to photograph the obliging Green Hairstreak who alternated between 4 plants including our flowering Lilac bush. A Holly Blue joined it several times and both diminutive butterflies would spiral up in the sky usually for the Holly Blue to disappear and the Green Hairstreak to settle again. The male Whitethroat again was singing from the bushes just beyond the back fence and sang from within the garden in the Copper Beech. At 2.25pm it was both singing and collecting white nest material! I also heard a2 2.20pm an Oystercatcher calling east of where I am so somewhere over the Parkhill estate and was species no.50 in the garden lockdown list, species no. 51 swiftly followed in the form of a calling Curlew at 6.25pm.
