Thursday 9th May
Nice sunny day, as it had been all week. This meant it was dry enough to get the paths cut.
Although sunny, surprisingly few butterflies. Those present included Orange-tip, Small & Green-veined White, Brimstone and Peacock.
Birds included Chaffinch, Wren, Garden Warbler, Long-tailed Tit, Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Great Tit, Greater Whitethroat and Skylark. Though very briefly first Cuckoo call.
Grass Snake was very nice to see.
