Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus scirpaceus |
On Sunday I wandered along the beach to see what flowers
were out on the shingle and found plenty of Sea Kale and Sea Sandwort. I was fortunate to see a pair of Linnets feeding on the flowers.
On Tuesday I met Nigel at Arundel WWT and we surveyed the meadow area for butterflies, adding a Comma to the species list. A female Common Blue joined three males, and a Reed Warbler did a pole dance on a reed.
