Some 80's glamour? After a stint of warm days the first big moths emerged. A puss #moth, or "large fork-tail" in several other languages.
Cerula vinula.

The first #peacock of the year, all pixels in the display are still fresh and whole.

Yesterday night, sleeping with an open window, I would wake up from the cries of a young tawny owl. Not unusual for this time of year and they can be pretty noisy.
On a whim, I grabbed a thermal camera to see if I could spot it. The little bugger sat on a branch right in front of my window.
Watched me for a while, and when it took off and passed right in front of me, I could still not hear a sound. So impressive animals!
Strix aluco.

Not a spectacular photo, but I always like to be #reminded why animals carry the #names they carry. The comma butterfly, or the white C.
Polygonia c-album.
