That item on the yellow Magnolia reminds me that there was a lovely
sulphur yellow (Brimstone?) around today, taking it's life in it's
hands (or should that be wings) by flying between our 4 bird feeders
whilst the birds were feeding, and none paid it any attention.

The next thing will be the first swallow, I wonder if that will be
early this year, normally we see ours around the 12 - 14th April

The birds at the feeders are not insectivorous David!


That said we have a couple of Robins that constantly feed from our seed only
feeders and they are certainly insect eaters as are the various species of
Tits.
