Couldn’t resist sharing this young blackbird - Mwyalchen, which appears to be going through his ‘punk’ phase and was sunning himself in the garden this morning.

A poor photo, I’m afraid, but it shows flowers and berries on the same rowan (cerddinen) tree - a strange year!

Many many butterflies on today’s Oxford group walk in Bernwood Forest, but the only one I managed to photograph (frustratingly out of focus :disappointed:) was this Silver-washed Fritillary(?)/(Brithig Arian)

Yesterday morning I came home from doing some shopping and when I drove into the driveway, this lovely doe was grazing in our front yard. She has been seen several times in the neighborhood. In fact, the 14 year old next door has named her Felicia. She wasn’t too worried about me, though after the third or fourth time I moved a little closer she decided to amble away to another neighbor’s yard. (click to embiggen…)

Bydd 'na diffyg lleuad nos wener - there will be an eclipse of the moon Friday night.

It will be soon after night fall, and rather low on the horizon,
so anyone wishing to get a good view/photo may like to find
a high place with clear view to the south/east.
(fingers crossed for no cloud and a flurry of photo’s ).

Heddiw - today.

Tri cyw dryw - three wren chicks (gess it’s getting a bit tight for space in there).

Cheers J.P.
