Thrilled to find a Queen of Spain Fritillary in Cot Valley, St Just, this afternoon! My first encounter with this wonderful butterfly on British soil.

Shiphay, Torquay, S Devon. 19.30. Making dinner 🍽️ and I glance up to see this migrant #Nightjar sat on top of the covered washing line! Stayed for a good ten minutes. Amazingly, the second record for our back garden! #UKBirding #DevonBirds #birds @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social
