Local Patch
Took a walk through part of my local patch this afternoon. Can't get very far because the path is still closed off for tree felling.
The highlights, birdwise, were a bold singing male Blackcap (trust me to have the macro lens on the camera and not the telephoto!) and a pair of Long-tailed Tits chasing each other in and out of the trees. The Blackcap was just fifteen metres away from our garden. It must only be a matter of time until I record one (or a LTT) actually in the garden!
Butterflies present were; Orange Tip, Small Tortoiseshell and Small White.
I took some photos of some wild flowers. Any corrections to identification are gratefully received; my wildflower knowledge can be quite lacking at times!

Nice pics.
I think your id`s are correct but saying that i`m not that well up on Forget me nots.
Shame about the Blackcap/wrong lens. Hope you don`t have to wait too long for another opportunity.
I love your most recent photos, especially the Forget-me-nots, a stunning flower that is so overlooked because it's so small. Your pictures are beautiful. Suitable for framing.
