A Nuthatch chips in, a Buzzard mewls, a Buzzard comes to sit in the dying Ash tree near to me. I scare it off with my worst Buzzard impersonation ever. A dragonfly scouts the perimeter, hunting. A Hornet flies through Bramble, bumping, hunting also. Thousands of grasshoppers, I mean, thousands. It's warm, humid, hazy, the weather will break.

European Paper Wasp (Polistes dominula) on Slipper Gourd (Cyclanthera pedata) flower in Paris, near the Eiffel Tower.
Apparently this species has more general feeding habits than other wasps in the genus, predating on other insects as well as caterpillars.

Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) in full flow. Self seeds readily, substantial size when it's happy (2 metres tall, 1.5 metre wide), and a pollinator magnet

Field Thistle (Cirsium arvense) in a Kent wild flower patch. I'd like to find out more about UK native thistles, Stephen Barstow has information about Cirsium tuberosum as an edible.

Did I post this already? Well, tough. I 😍 hoverflies, and this beauty has the best name ever: Yellow-haired Sun Fly (Myathropa florea).
Encourage hoverfly in your garden by creating Hoverfly Lagoons for their larvae. Pollinators and bug munchers.
