"There Are Fairies At The Bottom Of Our Garden"

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
It's not so very, very far away;
You pass the gardener's shed
and you just keep straight ahead
I do so hope they've come to stay.
There's a little wood with moss in it and beetles,
And a little stream that quietly runs through;
You wouldn't think they'd dare
to come merrymaking there,
Well, they do!

I thought of this song when I spotted fairy longhorn moths dancing in Butterfly Alley around the blackthorn that has just finished flowering. The lyrics describe this area of our property quite accurately.

I've added a montage of more wildlife to extras.

PS I've just noticed that I've captured a bug on the blackthorn leaves too. :)
