Dappled shade, enchanting breeze and views of the sea.

Wall Lizards, Eastbourne Seafront
Another warm and sunny day, with it being 24'C by 9am. This meant I was concerned that the Wall Lizard colony would already be up and literally running before our arrival. Fortunately, the need to bask was still a factor and we saw 3 individuals.
Poppies, Hill Road
Each morning, we are greeted with more and more Poppies in full bloom. The local Bumblebees are delighted. As the day progresses, petals fall and the number of flowers decreases, ready for next morning's renewal.

Norfolk Hawker!, Willingdon Hill
An unexpected species in an unexpected place. I had heard that they could be seen at West Rise Marsh. What a beauty!
Painted Ladies, Willingdon Hill
More Painted Ladies around since the influx year of 2019 Painted Ladies in Pembroke. There were at least 50 along the newly cleared rides to the north of the hill. They were bombing around in the strong evening sun and feeding on Bramble flowers.
Blue Tits, Hill Road
If possible, activity in this nest has increased. There was some peeking from the chicks.
