Our six ducklings are almost as big as their mother now. They all huddle behind her for protection as they can’t fly yet. They still manage to get up to mischief though.
Peacock Butterflies
There are plenty of butterflies around this summer including some spectacular Peacock butterflies. They like hedgerows and woodland edge type habitats and will happily visit your garden to feed on some of their favourite garden plants such as Buddleja and Verbena which have many tiny tubular flowers arranged in clusters.
