As it was a lovely sunny morning, Sadie, I and Millie took the opportunity to complete our Butterfly count in Toft Wood. We recorded 15 Marbled Whites, 10 Meadow Browns, 2 common Blues and 2 Ringlets. The other common species, Small Skipper, Small Heath (above) and Narrow-bordered 5-spot Burnet (above) are not on their list. Do take part if you have 15 mins to spare

Sadie then decided it was time to go and tried to put Mille's lead back on. We now only have Millie as we had to let Ruby go about a month ago as she had too many uncomfortable lumps. Four of her six siblings have died already this year. They were 11and a half so not a bad age for large pedigree dogs. We hope Millie will be around a bit longer (11 in September)
