Bird wise it was pretty productive,with 2 Ring Ouzel being seen,the 2nd calendar year female from the day previous,still on the horse paddocks on the hillside above the village and a new bird,a male,seen on some cattle pastures at Somerby.
The remainder of bird sightings consisted of the locals and summer migrants,with lots of song and displaying from Common Buzzards,Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs.
Plenty of butterflies were recorded on today's walk with one new species for the year,Large White being seen at both Grasby and Searby.Other species recorded included Green-veined White,Orange Tip,Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell.
It is a real privilege to have some lovely scenery and areas rich in history relatively close to home and it was a really enjoyable walk today in some beautiful weather,just what you need to divert thoughts away from this horrible virus that is killing so many people in our country.
