It was a bit of run than a walk, as I was summoned by Dawn to help tidy up the caravan, before our next guests arrive.
Only real highlights were 2 Chiff/Will seen and heard briefly, but not close enough to ID 100%.
There were also a lot of Common Wasps about, with many seen along Broadcroft Quarry Lane.
