Botany and butterfly walks

This morning I covered the north west patch. Birds were basically absent, with a buzzard over Queer Wood being the highlight. 21 species in all were seen, all regulars. However, managed to photo wood anemone( anemone nemerosa) and primrose (primula vulgaris). These were both found in Queer Wood. In the afternoon I headed off to the south east where the highlights were 3 kestrels and numerous green woodpeckers. However, by Ashford House at Hadham Ford I registered my first peacock butterfly for the year, adding a second later in the walk. As we headed up Acremore Street a fly by large white flew past. Unfortunately, too mobile to offer photo opportunities.
