Aston Rowant

What a way to spend a Saturday –beautiful scenery from the Aston Rowant NR, surrounded by 100s of Pyramidal and Fragrant Orchids, dozens of Red Kite’s overhead and the hum drum noise of the M40 not to far away just to remind you your on planet earth.

 

Other new species for the year this week have been Chimney Sweeper at Draycote Meadows, 8 Dark Green Fritillary at Harbury Spoilbank and Ringlet at Stockton Cutting supported by hundreds of Marbled Whites and Meadow Browns. On the birding front only Yellow-legged Gulls seen 3 times at the pond is worth reporting.
