The first stop on our "Sojourn Down South" was at Manton Bay, Rutland Water.
The main point of the visit was to see Maya, 33(10) and their FOUR chicks [not long after we left, one probably did a proper first flight]. I've watched events on this nest via webcam for some years.

This is the view form one of the other hides in Manton Bay - featuring mum swan and her three cygnets, a diving duck and what I think is a white / little egret in the right background.

It was very hot, with only a little breeze. Also saw a lot of butterflies and a few bees.

Wild flowers taken on the walk down to Hartland Quay in Devion. The thrift was past its best unfortunately.

White cherry blossom, with an added bee.

e2a - the bees did a good job this year, if the number of developing cherries is anything to go by !
I should really take a picture of them.

Male Emperor moth [Saturnia pavonia], sadly deceased. [the grid is 5mm squares].
However, it is a splendid example, note the branched antenna and prominent eye-spots.
Found in the garden after a very cold night, it was not actually frosty, but close enough.
{apparently, the female has smooth antenna, and although there are eye spots, her colouration would be far greyer, almost monotone}.

Dumbarton

Both male and female carrion crows participate in nest building. They work together to construct their nests, which are typically large and cup-shaped, using materials like small sticks, grasses, and plant stems. This co-operative effort is part of their strong pair bond and shared parenting responsibilities.
