| Blue Tit, Cyanistes caeruleus |
On Wednesday I attended the last work party of the season at
Heyshott. The primroses were everywhere, ready for the
Dukes, and violets are appearing to tempt the Pearl-bordered Fritillaries. Cuckoo Flower is out on
the bank in the lane so Orange-tips should appear soon. I visited Iping Common afterwards and found more Cricket Bat
Orb-weavers.
On Thursday I wandered down to the beach and found a Greater and a Lesser Black-backed Gull. One kept seeing off the other whenever it looked for food.
A Piper plane flew over.
On Sunday I visited a busy Arundel WWT. Mallard broods were everywhere and two consisted of eleven ducklings. Coal Tits were busy on the woodland feeder. A couple of Blue Tits had yellow faces. Research indicates this is probably pollen. Long-tailed Tits
came onto the feeder by the hide. I had a close view of a loud Cetti’s Warbler as I walked out of the centre. It stayed deep in the reeds and moved fast.
