30 Days Wild June 2020 Days Sixteen to Twenty

I've got a bit behind on this challenge mainly because of the rain and not going either into the garden or out for a walk.


I took these photos on Wednesday 17th when it was quite warm outside.
 
The bees are enjoyng the white clover in the grass as we have left it unmown for ages.
 
There are lots of daisies and buttercups in the grass too. 


I also spotted this hoverfly on a leaf hanging over the pond.

Two days of rain followed with very bad storms late evening.  We were out with the bat detector and had heard two different sounds on differing frequencies when I noticed the sky a distance away was like a pink sheet with fork lightening in the middle of it.  It then began to rain huge drops and the storm moved in with lound crashes of thunder.   The next day it rained all day.


Yesterday morning dawned fair so we walked across the fields.  We saw Swifts, Skylarks and a House Martin also a Heron flying over as well as the usual Magpies and Crows.

  1. The hoverfly picture is wonderful, he looks like he's got his sunglasses on.
    I was way behind too, it rained so much here the back garden was under water in areas.
