    My wild bird cover crop at weekend. It's kale. Hardly any wildflowers up yet in coastal NW Mayo, so every pollinator is attracted to crop. The crop is full of noise from the bees. Hopefully will produce a good crop of seeds to provide winter feeding for endangered Twite.


    I always get a good feeling when I read your posts.

    Thanks

    Or maybe because it's called a 'Wing' mirror
    Cars don't have wings! Birds do:)

    Ovipositing female Brimstone
    A female Brimstone will only lay her eggs on the leaf buds of two species of shrub: Buckthorn (formerly Purging Buckthorn) and Alder Buckthorn. A single egg is laid on a leaf bud, and it becomes an immediate food source for an emerging larva.

    Yes, these are Irish butterflies.

    As Srameen has already confirmed, all are Irish butterflies. The images of the Green-veined Whites are showing the underwings which can vary greatly from a dull yellow to a very bright yellow in colour. The upperwing colour is white, hence the 'White' in the common name. A male Brimstone when seen in flight is a luminous greeny-yellow colour and very striking; when resting or foraging, it will always have its wings closed and its underwings are a light green colour. Female Brimstone when seen in flight are white and can be mistaken for other species. You're unlikely to see Brimstone in urban areas, and will most likely see them on heathland and bogs where the larval food-plants, Buckthorn and Alder Buckthorn, are present.

    A young Black-headed Gull I reckon, but I'm rubbish when it comes to identifying gull species. I'm sure someone else will know for definite.

    There are only two types of gull in my book; Black-headed Gulls and not Black-headed Gulls. :)
