It was another day spent in the garden, so that Dawn and I could tackle the jungle that has taken over. However with wildlife in mind there were many areas that remained untouched.
The only bird of note was a Swift which flew north over the garden. Otherwise it was just the regulars, with Herring Gull, Wood Pigeon, Collared Dove, Dunnock, Blackbird, Blue Tit, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, Starling, House Sparrow, Chaffinch and Goldfinch all noted.
There was just the one butterfly seen, a Holly Blue and at least 3 bee species.
