A very quiet evening at the back of the cottage with the main highlight being the high numbers of Red Admirals still feeding on the ivy flowers. Also of note were the dozens of Swallows making their way down towards The Bill and the small numbers of Chiffchaff & Willow Warblers feeding in the Sycamore trees and Buddleia Bushes.
Here are a few images from this evening.
