Today, Cecilia and I saw yellow butterfly we think was a 'brimstone', and a 'green-veined white' - or it could have been a 'wood white'. We need to get better at this identification business.

No unusual birds today, though our regular visitors are nice and varied. Today, as every day, we have seen blackbirds, dunnocks, robins, chaffinches, blue tits and great tits, goldfinches, greenfinches, starlings, and, of course, two or three fat wood pigeons.

And there was a frog 'sunning itself' in the pond.
