Once we have opened the patio doors we know he isn't far away. He doesn't mind the sounds coming from the television, or us talking, he just comes and goes as he pleases.
I am trying to get Cheeky to come further in to feed. When he helps himself, he often flicks some bits about, if they are a reasonable size he does eat them. I have added a few pictures of him, they are not perfect because the light is always behind him.
He can often be seen lying on the grass with his wings stretched out. In the pictures below he is not quite as he sometimes is.

I took this photo last week on the common but I cannot put a name to it. I am sure some of you can help me out. Is it a orchid of some description?
I also took these of what I think is a Large Skipper.
and finally a Comma.
Ken ,
ReplyDeleteSpot on with both .
Common Spotted Orchid , can be found from almost purple to white like yours .
Lg. Skipper identified by 'marbling' on the wings , and size .
Think that bird has got you and Pam eating out of it's hand / wing .
Like your new friend Ken.

Ease up Warren I am having trouble looking after this one.
You've only got one Ken, I've got a whole family after my meal worms. Not quite as bold as yours yet but I am working on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Ken. Hope your new friendship isn't just cupboard love!
