Wildlife Success!




It goes to show that by simply planting plants such as a buddleia you really can attract wildlife into your garden.

This peacock butterfly was spotted along with a red admiral butterfly, hoverflies, bumblebees and swallows.
The late flowers are a key source of food for insects, and many of the plants now have berries which will help sustain both insects and birds throughout the autumn.
