One Man Band

 

Busker type guy who would sing with big drum on his back triggered by foot pedal , harmonica, acoustic guitar, cymbals between his knees and saxophone somewhere else.

Detested by the musicians union for taking six peoples jobs!

I remember seeing Don Partridge by the clock tower. Pretty sure I’ve also seen him in Loughborough market place.

Buddleia bushes covered in butterflies. Small Tortoiseshells and Peacocks seem to have completely disappeared.

 

Although the mighty Red Admiral seems to have made a bit of a comeback, well done lads

Had a few in my garden last summer but as you say outnumbered by Red Admirals

Although there are good and bad years for different butterflies, there’s been an 80% decline since the 1970’s. Changing weather systems, pesticides and loss of habitat have all played a part. 
Some butterflies are migratory too so are subject to similar issues in the country they are coming from.
