Sutton Bingham - Sun 22 Jul

Back to routine this morning as I dropped Ellie off at church and took Tristan up to the reservoir for an hour. There was not really much of note in the way of birds, a couple of singing Reed Buntings and a fly-over Kestrel were the pick of a poor crop. However, the sun had brought out a lot of butterflies and in the meadows I located my first Marbled Whites of the year. There were hundreds of Meadow Browns and a couple of Ringlets and I also saw a Speckled Wood...so much more interest with regard to butterflies this morning.
