Dust Bathing

Cloudy with some sunny spells, 20°, light WSW.

A very quiet time out by the Lees today, just a few Reed Bunting, Chiffchaff and a single Blackcap.

Got back home and found 9 House Sparrow dust bathing in the garden. This activities likely purpose is to remove parasites from their feathers.

Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle, Emperor and Common Darter.

Butterflies: low numbers, 1 Small Skipper, Large White, Small White, 3 Common Blue, 2 Red Admiral, 1 Small Tortoiseshell, 5 Peacock, several Gatekeeper and Meadow Brown.
