Wonderful walk in sunny conditions meant a few insect sightings. Firstly a speckled wood butterfly found along Hoecroft Lane and then 1 of 2 red admirals near Millennium Wood. Here, sunning itself on the picnic bench was a ruddy darter dragonfly.
Birds were in good number with at least 11 migrating swallows over the polo field and 25+ lesser black backed gulls feeding on the same fields. Long tailed, great and blue tits accompanied myself along Hoecroft Lane whilst a solitary skylark called overhead. At the pond in MW I flushed a large female sparrow hawk that was probably keeping an eye on the local moorhens.

Photos attached show the variety of colour to be found within the local woodland. Also, 1 of the speckled wood, ruddy darter and long tailed tit.
