Beautiful butterfly, half male and half female.

MAK and Ei - for some strange reason, I am off this Friday, and I would LOVE to meet you at Wild Wings.  I have never been there  -  even though I don't think I live all that far away! 

Wild Wings might be a possibility but I can drive myself!

Cool!  Once we firm up a time we'll figure it out!

Wait for me, guys - wait for me!!!!

Every woman worth her salt domesticates our males!  Some begins with their mother, but it is up to the wife to stomp him into something fit to enjoy dinner with 

 

Rod always tells people that I "brought him down to my level".

Such sad news to wake up to today - Lady Gaga is gone! How very, very sad. 

Almost posted that but Jeanne beat me to it. Amazing! Even ordinary house windows can be deadly.

Eee! I watched Harlequin fly past my window and land at the very top of "her" building. She looks like a pro! No landing problem at all! Now she's just flown to the top of the Harlequin building.

So amazing and I'm so delighted she seems to be a fast learner!

She looks beautiful.

Uhhhh... Kat? See? Just takes one sip and you are addicted! (But you are working, right? Just like the rest of us??)

Good Boy!!!

Janet's trolls. I think they are cute!

Hmmm... they remind me... remind me... of... uhhhhh...

Glad to have you with us, Stella!
 

Great reports, everyone - such excitement! Thanks for being there.

Oh my re Lady Gaga! Fingers crossed she could become a welcome ambassador for all PeFas... I am so on tenterhooks...

Can't wait to see how this turns out!

Harlie, you be careful, ya hear?? No cars... no windows... none o' that stuff!!!

Splendid! Thanks, Ei - where DO you find them!

A variety of places.  Usually like minded "consolidator" blogs.  But this one was via the moderated chat on the Norfolk Eaglet cam.  The eaglets are still there for a few more weeks.  One of them was sitting on a perch in the pouring rain with his wings out clearly enjoying his bath...and someone remembered seeing this one!

That owl in the video obviously "knew" when those sprinklers were about to start - would you think?? As from before, various Corvid sp sit on the wires or in the hedges every morning, waiting for Rod to come out with leftovers... I DO think they know! Kinda would like an owl, tho...

Ya beat me to it, Donna. How amazing - but who is cleaning her kitchen?! (I would have been the mad person who kept the door open too... You?)

If I lived alone, yes!! With Ed, you kidding!! LOL

We've had swallows "prospecting" around The Shed (read: Dumping Grounds) - and Rod went and knocked out all the windows. They declined our invitation this year... obviously need fancier digs. And tidier ones too!

Shed, of course, kitchen....umm I don't think so!

Gotta say I agree with you there... the Lady in Question has "The Look" of the Ageing Hippie - bless her!
