This evening I ventured along the River Ash and then over the golf course back to the Ford. Little to record on the bird front, apart from the usuals and a common buzzard over Caley Wood. However, near the footbridge behind Lordship Farm a huge emergence of caterpillars was taking place from a web type nest. As yet, unidentified.
An evening primrose (oenothera erythrosepala) was found in a rape field along with white bryony (bryonia cretica sub sp dioica) found in an adjacent hedgerow.Here also, 2 muntjacs were seen. In fields south of the village plenty of meadow brown butterflies were flushed as I walked through the tall grass. This looks to be a good field for butterflies later in the year. Disappointingly, still no damselflies or dragonflies were observed.
