Stormy weather meant no mothing last night, so here's a featured for that visited the garden July 2022. This is a CHINESE CHARACTER, a rather common, UK-resident moth. It's USP is to mimic a bird-dropping to protect itself from predators, although I think it resembles a tiny porcelain dainty.

I built a fun new setup and hope to get some good stuff there once the weather warms up again. This was the first visitor. Also, the Chickadees have all fledged yesterday and today đŸ„° They were amazing and strong fliers and I am so proud. Tons of video and no time to edit yet but it will come. I am livestreaming this cam on my Birdsy channel and my website.

A few more that caught my eye this morning, and now sleeping in the shrubbery waiting to get on with their mothy business later when darkness comes were these:

1) Knot Grass, where I can make out an owl or eagle face. Can you?

2) New for garden Broken-barred Carpet (they resemble them, they don't eat them!)

3) Clouded Border

4) Small Dusty Wave

Crow on a branch — Got this shot yesterday. Photomator’s filters are teaching me to experiment with colours in some different ways.🌿

A bovine giant, so mighty and large,
Her size less akin to beast, than barge.
Her udder hung low from her underbelly,
As she grazes, deep in the valley.

While we watched the sun set on the plain,
The cow stayed still as if caught in a frame.
We came to admire her grandeur and grace,
Her poise and her stature, in this bucolic place.

Maler and Female Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. Love these diminutive woodpeckers. Fabulous views and both drumming and calling.

Coyote pups exploring. I watched these pups venture further and further from their mother’s watchful eye as the grew. On this day mom was nowhere to be seen.

The litter started off with at least 4 pups, but in the end only 2 survived. I’ve found a few dead pups over the years and it was never clear to me who or what killed them. They share the area with people, dogs, bobcats and traffic in a protected National Park.

We've had a couple of foxes in the garden today. Lopa our regular vixen was dashing about as usual. A second fox (a male called Stripe) was much more cautious, hanging back at the rear of the garden. They eventually loped off together.

ChandrĂ© knows how to get the gang back into their boma for the night - she simply calls Vlooi and they all come running. EsmĂ©, Mielie and Vlooi go into the boma straight away and don’t seem the slightest bit concerned that Thaba is getting milk.
