| Yellowhammer, Emberiza citrinella |
This morning I met Mark at Chantry Hill to look for the
Green Hairstreaks that Neil had reported. We saw about 12, but they were all in
flight and the wind carried them and they were impossible to follow. I found
several Small Purple and Gold moths. I was pleased when Mark found a Bloody-nosed Beetle. This was a favourite from
a school journey to Dorset in 1959! I spotted two Grizzled Skippers and a Large
white flew past. At the top of the hill a Yellowhammer inspected his large territory,
and obligingly landed on an ant hill 20
meters in front of me.
