The Boy Does Nothing

That's probably what everyone at work thinks when I slope off for an hour at lunchtime. However, if it's a choice between me coming back smelling of booze, or the great outdoors, surely the latter is preferable?

Lots of good stuff around on site this week. New faces include a pair of grey wagtails and this small copper.

A couple of snaps of some familiar faces too - a southern hawker and a common darter, both seen at rest in the wildflower meadow today.

You just need to rub a bit of butter on the stems of the plants.

They can't resist it.

And a spot of strawberry jam works wonders with the Southern Hawkers!
