A lovely start to November which was also appreciated by a few Wall Lizards I came across sun bathing in the grounds of St Andrew's Church. The Yellow-browed Warbler was still present along Quarry Lane and I came across another one plus a Firecrest in the woods at Pennsylvania Castle.
Other highlights were very few and far between with 3 Stonechats in the horse Paddock to the left of Bumpers Lane, a Buzzard being mobbed by the Jackdaws at the Grove and a few Ivy Bees on the Ivy to the right of the steps leading down to Church Ope Cove.
One of only a few Chiffchaff along Quarry Lane
Not sure what this wasp is........
but it has a very long abdomen.
A Honey Bee and in comparison.....
.......an Ivy Bee
One of a few Red Admirals out in the sun.
