A morning walk, setting off at 9.30 from Tescos and covering footpaths through Cradle End, Green Street, Millfield Lane and Brick Kiln Hill. Very few birds, with no notables except for the unusual sound of a calling chiffchaff. A pied wagtail flew over high, heading east and 5 lesser black backed gulls were clocked lazing their way north at 10.15.
However, huge numbers of butterflies, with common blue being most prevalent. In all over 100 were counted, along with the usual suspects such as meadow brown, gatekeeper and large and small white.
