Migration watch from garden 08.09.09




An hour in the garden from 4.30pm gave views of 125+ swallows heading south along the River Ash valley. The gentle southerly breeze and clear, warm sky obviously encouraging them to begin the migration. Also witnessed was one common buzzard, high and gliding south. In the garden were several red admirals, commas and large white butterflies as well as 1 female common darter and a solitary migrant hawker. Photos attached show the red admiral and comma feeding on buddleia
