Garden butterflies
Another three birders have joined our merry gang in the 'laid-back self-isolation back-garden challenge', bringing our number up to 19 (you can see the other 16 competitors in the previous post). So it's welcome to:
Wes A (Capel, Surrey)
Garden list of 94 species
Osprey, Short-eared Owl, Firecrest and Hawfinch are some of the highlights.
Arjun D (Wallington, Greater London)
Garden list of 74 species
Marsh Harrier, Goshawk and Hawfinch are the stand-out records.
Dave P (Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex)
I think the best way of sharing in what we are seeing is if all competitors can update me (in whatever format they like) as frequently as they want to, and I will post a compilation of all this correspondence on a weekly basis. Don't worry if your scores are not up to date, I will make that clear to any reader of the blog.
A lovely sunny, if still chilly, day, although the butterflies were not too bothered by the temperature, with the garden providing a Small Tortoiseshell (top), Comma (above), Peacock and multiple Brimstones. As for the birds, you can wait for our 'challenge' update, most probably at the end of the month.Marsh Harrier, Goshawk and Hawfinch are the stand-out records.
Dave P (Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex)
Garden list of 55 species
Woodcock and Brent Goose are two highlights.
