After several busy nights watching the World Cup I felt the need for a bit of fresh air, so I drove down to Cerne Abbas straight after work and spent about three quarters of an hour wandering around Black Hill.
I knew that this was a good site for butterflies, but being an overcast evening I was not expecting much, and indeed I only saw a few Meadow Browns and a Small Tortoiseshell.
One thing that was encouraging was the number of Yellowhammers, I must have seen about six individuals. A couple of Linnets were about and a small flock of Goldfinches was seen. Overhead, about a dozen Common Swifts were whizzing around.
