After a rather busy weekend we were both feeling rather tired and did not fancy travelling miles but did feel like a bit of fresh air. So we simply decided to walk from West Coker up to Hardington Moor and enjoyed a pleasant walk in the late afternoon sun.
As we walked around the flower-covered meadow we could hear a couple of Chiffchaffs singing away. A pair of Linnets were also seen as the male sang away to the nearby female. At least one Yellowhammer was also about and a pair of Ravens flew overhead.
We were also surprised by the number of butterflies (and a few moths) that were on the wing. As we entered the reserve we saw a Red Admiral and there were loads of Meadow Browns about:
A few "blues" were about including a Small Blue and a couple of Common Blues, and several Large Skippers were present:
We also saw Small Tortoiseshell:
And several of the day-flying moth, Six-spot Burnet:
