Goldfinches hate cats. They love cat's-ears seeds. A Sussex garden today.

 Butterfly orchids were in their prime this day.
All the pictures were taken from the paths and mostly with a zoom lens to avoid flattening dozens of orchids to photograph the best one.  Sadly one sees that too often.

 Early-purple orchids had gone over except an occasional late one in the shade.
