A small selection of shots from last night’s spectacular light show over #Groomsport, #CountyDown. #Aurora hunting here has always involved squinting at a faint green smudge on the northern horizon.
Not last night! 😎🤯
The first sighting of a #Greenfinch on the reserve at #WWTCastleEspie for many a long year.
This species has been having a hard time recently. Could they be recolonising? 🤞🏻
My good deed for the day - I rescued this beautiful little Holly Blue from a watery end this evening.
Think it’s a female but hard to tell with wet wings.
Found her upside down in a puddle on the Comber Road surrounded by cherry blossom (like a scene from “Melancholia”).
Picked her up and carried her to the nearest bush that was still in sunlight. It was hawthorn but there was ivy higher up.
Hope she survives the night 🤞🏻🦋
Despite the recent inclement #weather, #spring activities are proceeding apace on the reserve at #WWTCastleEspie.
This #nestbox has been occupied every year and obviously this year is no exception.
