I’ve set myself a project to try and photograph all the different insects and wild flowers that we enjoy here. It is a big task, but really interesting. I’ve also been listening to the bird song and using the Merlin app to identify them. We are very fortunate to not only have a whole host of resident birds, but also many seasonal visitors (including other noisy inhabitants like frogs and crickets). Right now, in June, we have Nightingales and Golden Orioles to hear every day.

Here is a selection of wildlife seen in May, here in the garden:-

In June, the orchids are still going, but lots of new insects to see
