Still sunny and warm, but very little seen on the bird front other than a Chiffchaff singing at Church Ope Cove.
There seemed to be fewer butterflies today with just 5 Peacock and a Green-veined White seen.
A 7-spot Ladybird was in Penns Wood and was the only 'bug' I found today.
Note:
On this day last year there was a Dartford Warbler on the slopes at The Bill and a Red Kite flying up Wakeham. Nothing like that today.
Here are a few photos.
Church Ope Cove from St Andrew's Church
Rufus Castle from the cove. Just behind the blue Hut in the centre a Chiffchaff.......
