Garden wildlife

On Sunday 24th August, in the garden in the afternoon, a Painted Lady flew up from just outside the back door and away. A fine male Southern Hawker briefly flew around before flying east. Finally a suspected Common Emerald Damselfly, a garden first, if the ID was nailed was briefly on a bush. On all these occasions I retrieved my camera but all had gone. A Speckled Bush Cricket showed well in the lilac bush though. On Monday 25th August in the morning, the Common Emerald Damselfly was confirmed in the first flowerbed but typically it was gone by the time I retrived the camera.
