Ham Hill Country Park - Sun 17 Jul
As I left Sutton Bingham I got a call from a bored Ellie who fancied getting out of the house for a walk, so I picked her up and we drove up to Ham Hill for a late afternoon stroll. As we crossed the meadows there were several Meadow Brown butterflies about and a couple of Common Blues, we were also treated to some splendid views of a Hobby as it flew past us several times. As we continued our walk the weather came in and for the second day in a row we got caught in a heavy rain shower. We decided as we got back to the car that it was time to get back home and enjoy a roast chicken dinner!

Nice one,Tim.
ReplyDeleteAin't it funny, we watch and love birds and also roast 'em.
I was in Wales last week and saw my first Manx shearwater, unfortunately it was dead beside a path.... took a photo though. I also saw two dead moles. Just like a vet's clinic on a bad day.
I have just joined the Portland Bird observatory so each time I pop down there I can pop into the 'lighthouse place' and keep an eye on what's coming and going. It's very interesting as they net and ring birds there.
Take care and best wishes
