Scarce Swallowtail …

… on what’s left of the buddleia. 

Huge thanks for those who loved yesterday’s Griffon vulture which I could not post till very late last night. 

Massive cutting hedges morning with more this evening till 7pm. We are trying to get house and garden in order before the cat sitters arrive on Sunday when we set off to see no. 1 son in Denver, and the temperatures here have been 31*C since around 10am. We keep having cool showers after each task! The cats are staying in the house or languishing under the bushes!

Thanks so much for your amazing comments on my recent mountain blips and putting up with my lack of comments!
