It's a Linnet ,init

   
Let me entertain you, or maybe not. Just a few birds seen and photographed in windy conditions last week, when I found it difficult to keep the camera stable. Insect numbers in my garden have increased, with Early Bumblebee, Tree Bumblebee, Buff-tailed Bumblebee, Carder Bee, Ashy Mining Bee, and Migrant Hoverfly. Seen but not photographed was a Hummingbird Hawk-Moth, which was at arms length but flew off before I could get my phone out. Also what looks to be a Broad-leaved Marsh Orchid in Olive's lawn, thought to have died last year when it wasn't seen, but has re-appeared in the same place as previous years. Olive has just carefully cut the lawn around it.
