A warm, sunny day in September feels like a gift. A warm, sunny day in September with the buddleia in flower is even more of a gift.
It’s Red Admiral time and there have been quite a few in the garden. They are beautiful and provide a wonderful end to butterfly times which started back in March and April with Brimstones and Orange Tips.
I’ve seen a couple of Hummingbird Hawkmoths as dusk has been falling in the last week too.
I intend to make the most of every sunny day through the next few weeks. For one thing, there is some evidence that Vitamin D is a potential help in fighting off COVID-19.

I always enjoy this time of the year with the buddleias in the garden in flower, various purples, mauves along with white and yellow covered in Red Admirals, Small Tortoiseshells, Peacocks, Commas, Holly Blues with lots of bees and hoverflies. ( but no Painted Ladies this year). Just great, remember to deadhead them and they continue flowering
