Green Shieldbug, Red Admiral

Not much around in the way of birds lately, though there has been a Green Woodpecker yaffling occasionally of late.

A couple of adult Green Shieldbugs were evident in the same area that I had some nymphs a couple of weeks ago.  Apart from that it was fairly quiet, with only a Red Admiral on one of the few remaining Buddleia spikes that are in flower.
