See which you can find or see yourselves…from the Chaffinch, Blue & Great tit, Coal Tit, Song Thrush, Swallow, Pied Wagtail, Wren & Robin. The different varieties of butterflies spotted so far are The Tortoiseshell, The Small White, Small Heath or the dark Green Fritillary.  Take time out just to sit, to read, play an instrument, bake or cook at your leisure.
