No flies on me

A leisurely stroll around the wood again this morning, watching and listening.  Not a soul to be seen but the birds were competing to see who could sing the loudest.  I think the nuthatches just had it over the wrens.  

Lots of Brimstone butterflies, and one or two did oblige, in particular this one, which didn't seem to mind being mistaken for a leaf.

A bit of gardening this afternoon whilst JJ is still trying to clear away all the brambles he's removed over the back.  He's going to need to hack a way through to somewhere else to dump the brambles before he removes any more.
