Mocha - what a moth! Butterfly Conservation 🦋

Haven’t played with watercolour for ages

This weekend I have spent a lot of time staring at ‘weeds’!

A bit more line and wash playing

Today has mostly been spent with Green Hairstreaks

A very early Large Skipper seen today with Sussex Butterfly Conservation

Yesterday was photographing, today was painting

My first encounter with ‘Geoff’ this morning. A very common micro moth that I’d never seen until this morning right outside my front door. 30mins later whilst walking the dog and I spot several flitting around a hedge!

I found some of these at The Charlatans studio If you work for The NHS and bring ID - you can have one for free ❤️

Some nice variety in the garden today BAS

The spending review included £760 million to fund 'reform of the SEND system'. This was listed as coming from a public services 'transformation fund' DfE has now told Schools Week while the cash is new, it will actually come from the core school funding increase
