my new species

It seems to be a common butterfly. I saw a lot of photos of this butterfly on the internet. I never saw him in my near and distant area. Here, yesterday, almost before sunset at the edge of the forest, I met him. It was just Black-veined white (Aporia crataegi). He sat calmly prepared for the night. I think the picture was fine. I'm very happy about it. I only met one more butterfly on a dry blade of grass. We have quite a serious period of drought and the number of butterflies encountered is very limited.

juvenile flycatcher

Only yesterday I noticed the flycatcher's nest just behind the gutter of the old building. A few years ago a flycatcher also had its breeding here. When I looked closely, the chicks were so large that they could barely fit into the nest. I suspected there would be a flight soon. Today I went with the camera and at that moment I noticed the hatchling leaving the nest. It landed on the ground just below the nest. Then I watched disturbed parents. I hope to succeed in the most difficult departure days. Cats most often catch such young ones.
