….and followed that up with a decent few hours on my ‘patch’ at Batheaston Water Meadows….where at least 20 Clouded Yellows showed well, plus Small Copper and a really unusual find here, with a ‘raggedy’ looking Adonis Blue, way out of its area! @bathnature.bsky.social

Woodpigeon taking a bath in a pond. Ponds are a lifeline for wildlife in hot weather like we have here in the UK right now. If you have a garden please consider making one.
