Sunny, 24º, light NW.
Another sunny warm day and a visit to Lollingdon hill.
Yellow seemed to be the colour today with the yellow sun
beaming down, a couple of Yellow Wagtail
noted on the Hawthorn, secondly a Yellowhammer
singing from the fence line and a Brimstone
butterfly flew by!
A fair few Pyramid Orchids growing on the slope as
it’s an area the cattle don’t like to graze; they would rather stay on the
flat!
A Southern Hawker
and an Emperor dragonfly around,
butterflies were Small Tortoiseshell
in good numbers, a dozen or more Speckled
Wood, 3 Brimstone, 2 Red Admiral and a Large Skipper.
Also a probable Orange-tailed
Clearwing moth!
Confirmation of Tufted
Duck breeding in the parish, a pair with 8 young.
A Treecreeper in
the garden this evening.
