| Herring Gull, Larus argentatus |
On Saturday I visited the beach in a howling gale to look
for some more shingle plants. The following day we both walked to the corner of
Sea Road where Crows were feeding. Several generations of Herring Gulls were on
the beach, plus Turnstones sheltering at the top of the shingle.
Today I walked in Houghton Forest and a Brimstone fluttered
down to nectar on Lesser Celandine as soon as I arrived. It didn’t stay for a
photo and appeared again before I set off on my walk. Afterwards I walked round
the Angmering Road woods at Dover Lane. I was pleased to find my patch of Scarlett
Elf Cups in good condition where I found them last year.
