| Small Tortoiseshell, Aglais urticae |
On Saturday I visited
Ferring Rife where Small Tortoiseshells were flying. At Angmering Woods I
spotted another female Chaffinch.
On Sunday I went metal detecting with my club. Roman coins
were found, but my only find was a 1994 Gibraltar one penny which has a Barbary Partridge on
the reverse. This bird is native to North Africa, Gibraltar and the Canary
Islands. On my way home I passed through sleet so did not visit any other
sites. At dusk we had our lounge curtains open and I looked up to see an orange
canary fluttering outside the window. When I went over to open the window it
rested on the outside sill then flew off.
This afternoon I visited Angmering Woods and located a
Goldcrest which stayed high in a pine.
