This video says about itself:
This video demonstrates that planting a butterfly bush does attract butterflies.
Contrary to yesterday, on the butterfly-bush flowers just outside, there were no silver y moths.
However, today there were large earth bumblebees. And honeybees (like yesterday).
The coots seem to no longer use their nest. This morning, a juvenile herring gull standing on it. Half an hour later, it was asleep, its head tucked under a wing.
