Well spotted

I'm spending the weekend in Hatfield Broad Oak, in Essex, with my Dad. I've just seen a seven spot ladybird in his garden and a comma butterfuly in his backgarden which is a few miles from the end of the runway at Stansted Airport. Comprising about half an acre of mature woodland it is currently full of purple and white violets, primroses and celendines. The Chestnut tree that I planted as a 12 year old child is breaking into leaf. This is one of the best times of the year in the garden, which has grown pretty much wild over the years. Dad calls it his nature reserve.
