'our' Tree Pipit obliged with its aerial
display flight, just as it has done for
several years in exactly the same spot.
A cuckoo seemed to follow us around all
day and Willow Warblers were, of course,
numerous.
No Lesser Whitethroat or Chiff-chaff were
recorded, a little surprising, and only
two Common Whitethroats were seen. We
also found a Great Spotted Woodpecker nest
hole and a bird's alarm call nearby indicated
probable occupancy. A Little Ov/1 was
another species seldom seen on our field
trips.
Forty two bird species were recorded between
11.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m.
Butterflies seen were predominantly male
Orange Tips, with large numbers of Large
and Small White, one male Brimstone and two
Small Heaths.
Botanical records by Tony Boniface included
Slender St. John's Wort, Bitter Vetch in its
roadside location near the Viper, Star of
Bethlehem, Cow-wheat and Pill-Headed Sedge.
