Turtle !!!!!!!!

After a great day out with Brian (nearly ten miles around Winterton, Horsey & Strumpshaw) I arrived home to find a Turtle Dove at one of our feeding stations! We had a visit by a duller bird a week ago, so maybe we have a pair again: fingers crossed!

Our East Coast ramble produced several families of Stonechats, hundreds of Little Terns, a Red Kite, a Hobby and some good butterflies, including Wall and a very early Dark Green Fritillary. Nothing much at Strumpshaw except lots of mating Hairy Dragonflies and plenty of newly-emerged Swallowtails.
