Garden goodies

On the 4th June, the Painted Lady butterfly was still in the garden but was very camera shy and I also found a Zebra Jumping Spider found on the Red Valerian plants. Also on the 4th June, at 5.05pm, a Lesser Whitethroat (a now very unusual garden record) called its scolding call 5X from the top of the bushes to the right/ west side of the garden but flew south when I approached the back doorway! The Wood Pigeons were still building a nest in the variegated Holly tree too. 5th June a Grey wagtail flew just NE from the front of our Parkhill house at 5.35pm, on the 7th June, a second Bee Orchid seen flowering at the James Paget Hospital barely 4 feet from the first! On Friday 10th June, a hunting Norfolk Hawker (first record for the garden) seen hunting around the back garden from 11.30am onwards and it briefly alighted on our Fuschia bush. on the 11th June at 8.10pm, Jenny saw a Hummingbird Hawk Moth by the purple flowers in our central circular flowerbed in the back garden lawn.
