Busy at home and in my garden, I took some photos over a few days of anything interesting. Also some photos from Kinnaber Links north of Montrose. So far it's been a cruel summer for butterflies with only Meadow Browns and Small Heaths seen in any numbers, and a few Common Blues at Kinnaber.
Flies, Hoverflies, Bees and Wasps all are having a bad year so far with much lower numbers in my garden and the countryside. A small bit of good news, is a friend has a second generation of Holly Blue butterflies in her garden in Carnoustie.

One of a family of 5 Swifts which I believe nested in my roof. For more than a week they have been flying up and down my drive, garden and street, often disappearing and then returning making their screeching calls
I think this may be one of this years juveniles taking a brief rest, or investigating the expansion pipe
