27/06/2017 In the garden again.

Maximum temperature 24C  minimum 15C.  14 km/h NW winds. Some rain this afternoon not yet measured.
Mrs Sparrow having a drink.  House sparrow (Passer domesticus) ...

and something to say it seems!

What I believe to be a Chapman's Blue (Polyommatus thersites).

and  this one a Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus) ...

as above just opening her wings...

and the brown confirms she is female. The male has blue wings.

A Meadow brown in hiding, the only shot I could get! (Maniola jurtina) and I think a female from what I can see.

Small White (Pieris rapae)

Rose bud.

Kalanchoe, 

I hope we will be picking peppers in the near future.

Shield bug.

    Great selection of butterflies and that Shield Bug is pretty dramatic too.

    The butterflies are wonderful but that peach colored rose bud is stunning.

      It is an exceptional rose. It was in the last garden where we lived in the UK and I took a cutting from it in the hopes that it would take and it did. It has am amazing perfume. Diane
