Tried to make the most of
Wednesday’s beautiful weather. My wife and I set of for Pitstone Hill at
9.30 missing the worst of the traffic. Lots of Sky Larks present,
numbers building with birds from the continent. Kites low over most of
the morning as well as Kestrels. One perched up quite close for a few
minutes. Highlight of the walk was watching around 10 Stonechats moving
through the scrub for maybe 5 minutes. Lunch close by at BBONT College
Lake in the café overlooking the lake. Then a slow walk around the lake.
Not many birds about only lots of Canada Geese, but the autumnal
colours more than made up for that. Dragonflies, Damselflies and Darters
still active and did see one Clouded Yellow butterfly briefly here and
one Brimstone butterfly at Pitstone.
Stewart.
