IMAGES IN MY GARDEN – EARLY APRIL 2024

I’ve been taking many pictures of birds on my feeders in recent days and in particular a pair of Goldfinches that have visited at least twice a day between about 11.00 am and midday and again around 3.30pm. It just so happened that I was lucky to be at the kitchen window when they visited. A male House Sparrow came with the Goldfinches, and the Robin has been several times.  In addition, during a recent warm spell of weather, I photographed a Sun Fly at my wildlife pond, but missed an opportunity to photograph a (probable) teneral Large Red Damselfly which I saw alight on my garden fence momentarily, before disappearing - but I’ve assumed that it was newly emerged from the pond, and is the earliest record of this species anywhere (as I usually get to see my first adult male insect around the end of April most years, though away from my garden).
