Sheep in the garden

A non-day, a chill out day. Then, "The sheep are in the garden again!" There they were too close to the girls flower garden for comfort. So once we'd chivvied them out I had to fix the gate.

There were two Roe Deer in the field below the house this evening. Plenty of butterflies in the garden this morning including Comma again and Small Skipper.

It seems to have been a poor year for Nightjar. I suspect lots have failed. They are now hard to find at my best site, and I failed yesterday evening. Recent visits to this site and another site have produced just brief views of single individuals feeding.
