On the vis front it has been very ,very slow with a couple of highlights, a few flocks of Meadow Pipits the odd Pied /alba wagtails , Swallows , Herring and LBBgulls , A female Shovler nearly got past me on the 7th nearly let it go as a female Mallard but got the scope on it the see its massive bill and yesterday a very high flying group of 7 terns were seen just about long enough to rule out common /artic and confirm as Sandwich ,which is pretty amazing......
Plenty Small Tortoiseshell on Hedge top lane with five seen displaying at once and at least 20 + in the general area , Orange Tip , Small White , Peacock and Comma in smaller numbers..
Autumn Green Carpet in the moth trap as the highlight this week and a Herald,,and the odd toad..

Some good birds there Andy, Sandwich Terns and Shoveler, all thanks to lock down.
My eyes are sore from staring into the sky.........but then again that is what I do.....
Always nice to get a Herald away from the tunnel.
Tree sparrows used to be by the church in the hedges by the horse fields and at the bottom of coley hall lane also had lesser spotted woodpecker in priestly green in the small wood by the organic farm
Great memories
Still looks perfect for Lesser Pecker and Tree Sparrow but no luck yet..Tree Sparrows must be there ...!!
