I enjoyed watching the birds come and go from my birdfeeder. I recorded an hours footage which I edited down to just over 4 minutes.

While visiting Bempton Cliffs in June 2022, I have the presence of mind to film the huge amount of birdlife that had chosen to breed on the shear drop above the sea. You can read about my visit here: http://lulovelock.co.uk/blog.htm#17th_January_2023

Hummingbird hawk-moths are rather special. This was one was filmed foraging on a lavender bush. Using the 'slow-mo' button on my phone gives a rather cool view of this super fast flying insect!

I saw lots of butterflies today, I stopped to watch them and listen the beautiful songs of the birds around me.
