These Goldfinch babies close by are feeling a bit peckish! Enjoy the drama!

By the river, in a sunny spot, a sudden flutter of delicate wings announces the arrival of Speckled Wood butterflies feeding and sunbathing in the late afternoon in August.

Thanks Gerd, I'm glad you liked the video.  These butterflies are so delicate in the low level sunshine and they love this patch of water mint
it attracts a lot of insects :)
