Another late afternoon walk in the Autumn sunshine. Not too much around with just 3 Chiffchaffs calling and a single Sand Martin making its way south. Overhead a Common Buzzard was calling and in a few areas along the walk you could just make out the sub-songs of at least 4 Robins.
At the top of Penns Wood a Harlequin Ladybird larvae but no sign of any adults.
Here are a few images from this afternoon, including a few plants again for my Portland Flora List Here.
