Recent sightings Farm walk

This summer has been very good for butterflies and for birds as it's been very warm and even reaching 31'c.

There is a walk which I've  started recently doing and it has proven very good for birds. It's from Severn Farm view to Berkeley power station.

 Northern Whetear (juv)

Canada geese

 

 

The walk has a lot of clouded yellows at the moment with 8 being the highest of the week.

After a long time of not posting I'll start again today.
