A day in the Sun!

With poor weather on the way just in time for 'you know what', Linda & I headed north for a relaxed day's walking / birding / insecting (Is there any such word?!)

First stop was Pensthorpe: I shan't be posting any pictures on Birdforum claiming they show wild birds (which has been done recently!) but I'm not apologizing for the photos of a young Crane and a male Bearded Tit: they are just nice birds, even though manacled!

The Demoiselle was unringed, so I'm assuming it's wild... and the juvenile Great Spot was definitely a good'un! We saw a Nuthatch in the woods, too.

On the way home we stopped briefly at Holt CP, where a twenty minute walk gave us excellent views of Broad-bodied Chaser and White Admiral.. and not such good views of a Silver-washed Fritillary!









You've got to laugh, haven't you? That's the SWF, 12 o'clock high!
