Small Tortoiseshell, Aglais urticae |
Yesterday I visited Rewell Wood again and saw a Gold Crest and a Kestrel flying tree to tree across an open area. In a field I spotted some thrushes, which I believe are Mistle Thrushes. I then visited Ferring Rife following Neil's report of 15 Small Tortoiseshells on Sunday. I saw six, including two fighting. In the frog spawn pond the early ones have started hatching. I found a late clump of spawn on land where a pond had started to dry up, so I placed it in deep water.
