The
Lesser Whitethroat was still singing in Stagbury Field and a
Garden Warbler was in voice in BW behind the caravan site. Singles of
Red Kite and
Hobby were seen overhead and a pair of
Mallards were on Piddly Pond. Six
Swallows flew north and three
Whitethroats were in the BW sector too. Some drama unfolded when a
Tawny Owl caught a fledgling
Blackbird at the BW housing estate.
Butterflies included a
Green Hairstreak at Coneyboro Hill, seven
Dingy Skippers, two
Small Heaths, a
Speckled Wood, six
Peacocks, a
Red Admiral, two
Orange-tips and 14
Brimstones, all in BW.
