A somewhat random and very unseasonable
Meadow Pipit was singing along the west side of Broadfield. Several
Swifts and
Swallows were over the farm, along with four
Yellowhammers, four
Skylarks, eight
Linnets, a
Kestrel, three
Whitethroats, two
Blackcaps and a
Chiffchaff. In Banstead Woods, six
Treecreepers, eight
Goldcrests and two
Bullfinches were noted among other usuals.
Four
White-letter Hairstreaks were on show in the elms on the south side of the path just west of the orchard. A
Red Admiral and a
Comma were also seen in BW, while another
Comma, a
Small Tortoiseshell and 12
Marbled Whites were at CF.
