Trudge

My butterfly count from a trudge round Rewell Wood today: 

2 Pearl-bordered Fritillary, 6 Peacock, 2 Brimstone, 1 Red Admiral, 2 Large White
Brilliant views of a Garden Warbler too, much better than the PBFs which were a bit flighty and which I kept losing in the scrub, annoying after yesterday's Green Hairstreaks also wouldn't pose for pictures.

This evening an Osprey flew west over the farm.

At Ivy Lake this morning, we saw a Peregrine fly low past Solomon and I with what looked like the Black Tern reported there earlier in its talons; there was no sign of the Tern either way just a few Common Terns over the water.
