Peacock butterflies on the move
These specks were small tortoiseshells flying past
A touch of spring
A glorious spring like day with wall to wall sunshine and very little breeze.
Fifteen minutes at the top of the Dailies found first a Buzzard moving >N closely followed by a Sparrowhawk also >N both in moving mode out to the east above Clayton where the sky had a hazy cast. Luckily Id taken my faithful bins instead of the compacts otherwise they would otherwise have been missed.
A suprise to see butterflies moving >N with up to 30 small tortoiseshells going over, some at height and 9 Peacock butterflies also moving >N but much slower and low down often settling briefly before moving on again, hence the blurred photo, the beggers wouldnt keep still.

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
