Observation:
Headed out through Bath Mill with sunshine. On "Sunnybank" we had 5 species of Butterfly including Orange Tip and Brimstone's.
Also this rather smart Blackcap catching flies.
Also Small White, although Id'ing Small and Large White I find very hard
so maybe be Large :)
Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler all singing merrily on Dog Walk and Skylark up on fields, then one use for dogs a Small Tortoiseshell on poo.
Whitethroat numbers have risen to 2 !
A few Yellowhammers about, this one posed for a moment.
Another failed Skylark shot!
At Village Barn Swallow numbers not really increased much, still around 7ish.
Also a Fox far off, but stalking something?
Grey Herons in Heronry just 2 today, at Lake's normal stuff, Mute Swan 2 Bottom Lake + 2 Top Lake, but 1 still on nest. Then while eating my banana spotted a Common Sandpiper !!
Far end of Top lake a new tick taking us to all time 86 species! Year total 70.
Grey Wagtail for scale :)
Mistle Thrush, Song Thrushes and 2 Stock Doves best of walk towards Stanton Prior.
Up on to Lanes more Skylark 5/6 Linnets and Yellowhammer at Park Farm.
But no Pied Wagtails at all !! On the whole walk.
Walking down Lanes to home, 2 Buzzards and a final Kestrel .
Walk total 46.
