Approaching the end of the month, the weather for the upcoming holidays appear to improve, with today's temperatures being around 17°C and the sun only being covered by a think blanket of Sahara dust and winds being relatively weak.
With more and more dandelions pooing up in all areas, I finally got to see some A. io and P. rapae across all main zones. One P. rapae was seen flying from Zone III towards Zone II, while another was flying through the gardens right behind my home.
+----------------+----------------------------+--------+ | Species | Location | Status | +--------------+------------------------------+--------+ | Aglais io | Zone I / II / III | Adult | |--------------|------------------------------|--------| | Pieris rapae | Zone I / III -> II / Village | Adult | +--------------+------------------------------+--------+
Once again, Zone III is a hotspot for ladybirds, yet right now only of one particular type, the seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata). Whilst observing the handful of ladybirds, I spotted a very young willow southwest of the pond that usually is being covered by various nut trees.
On said pond, four male mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) swimming peacefully, yet there's been no sign of any amphibians in this area, so far. On the other hand, various types of bees and hoverflies now are active in all areas, even in rather unsiutable parts of Zone III.
And while I was busy documenting all of this, the sheep belonging to one of my neighbours were on the loose. Luckily, none of them interferred with today's observations.
