Thurlbear Quarrylands - Wed 4 May

I decided to try for butterflies rather than birds during my afternoon off as it was another lovely sunny day. I set off to Thurlbear Quarrylands just to the south of Taunton only to arrive under overcast skies and somewhat cooler temperatures. This put pay to seeing any butterflies, I failed to see any during the hour I walked the site. However, I did hear at least four Nightingales blaring away from the undergrowth, so it was not a completely wasted trip and it did mean I was home earlier than normal!
