Great White Egret, Little Egret, Harlequin Ladybird, Red Admiral, Peacock

Both Egrets were present this morning, and I was able to get a quick shot of them in the same frame, though not especially close to one another.

A patch of Hemp Agrimony near the hide had three Peacock Butterflies and a Red Admiral, and further round, a Harlequin Ladybird was by the side of the track.

At home later on, a small moth flew up from the vegetation and landed on the fence, turning out to be Bryotropha affinis.
