The highlight of the weekend was recording a holly blue butterfly in the garden, the first for 2009. Other butterflies were also recorded, with large and small whites and green veined whites. A great spotted woodpecker was photographed at the garden nut feeder. Also in the garden, a first for me, was a resplendent male bullfinch. Unfortunately it stayed too briefly as I tried to get to the camera. At the allotment a kestrel was seen overhead along with good numbers of swifts. A juvenile starling was being fed by a parent in the garden this evening. More brimstone moths were evident around The Ford and a final first, a common blue damselfly seen patrolling damson trees on the allotment.
