Swift Half update - 30th June 2011

  • After the recent mini-heatwave (with temperatures around 30c for two days) its quite nice to have a little bit of settled (merely) warm weather (around 21c) now.
  • My buddleja, cornflowers and evening primrose have done me proud now that the elderflower and honeysuckle are over for the year.
  • I can't remember whether I posted this or not recently, so if I have, please forgive me, but three days ago Anna and I saw our first hummingbird hawkmoth in the garden! It didnt stay long, but what a magnificent sight!
  • Plenty of cockchafers around now also - emerging from the lawn at dusk (just after the hens have taken themselves to bed in the main!)
