Admin2, who is currently reading Fireside Gothic, three spooky novellas by Andrew Taylor while Admin1 is reading The Brutal Tide by Kate Rhodes, was trying to photograph a small skipper butterfly but caught this unexpected Enallagma cyathigerum instead. Its wings are so diaphanous that they didn’t show up on any of our photos but you can sort of see them in its shadow.
Today’s weather featured a substantial thundershower but not much rain was recorded, probably because the pigeons have been crapping in the rain gauge again. [Update, 30 June: And indeed they had — now cleaned.]
