Napton on the Hill churchyard was again quiet with only Buzzard, Goldcrest, Long-tailed Tit seen and Spotted Flycatcher, Chiffchaff and Raven heard. Butterflies were 2 Red Admiral, 4 Green-veined White, Large Skipper plus many Ringlet and Meadow Brown
Took advantage of the world stopping for tennis with a peaceful walk along Ashlawn Cutting late afternoon with still a few butterflies around with Large Skipper, Small Skipper, Red Admiral, Meadow Brown and Ringlet while moths included Cinnabar, Carcina quercana, Bee Moth, White Plume Moth and Treble-bar Moth. Birds seen were Red-legged partridge, Buzzard, Whitethroat, Garden Warbler, Linnet and Green Woodpecker.
Still playing catch up with photos from bob with the latest batch containing some of our smaller moths.
