| female Adonis Blue, Polyommatus bellargus |
On Thursday I did my weekly Mill Hill butterfly transect: Adonis Blue 15, Brimstone, Common Blue, Green
Hairstreak, Grizzled Skipper 2, Peacock, Red Admiral, Small Heath 3, Wall. Moths: Cinnabar, Violet Cosmet, Common Yellow Conch.
Friday was a stormy day and we did a morning walk to the
pier then onto the new River Arun walkway. Late afternoon blue skies appeared and we
visited Arundel WWT and enjoyed watching Moorhen chicks. Sue fed the Greylag
and Canada goslings. She hid the seed bag from the persuasive Mute Swan that encouraged
her to give up her bird food last time we visited☺
