Black Tern

Eight Hare were down the Southam Rd romping about at the thought that summer is finally arriving while over the road the pond had adult Black Tern, Common Tern, 3 Oystercatcher, Sparrowhawk Buzzard, 27 Mute Swan and 12 Yellow-legged Gulls of various ages. An amble around areas of Ryton Woods that don’t get a lot of attention produced 12 Silver-washed Fritillary, 7 Purple Hairstreaks, 2 Common White Wave and Silver Y moths plus 6 Jay, 6 Nuthatch, Garden Warbler and juvenile Little Owl. Also seen were 4 Brown Hawker, Southern Hawker, Common Darter plus Large Red, Common and Blue-tailed Damselfly. Rest of the afternoon glued to the television watching the Cav, Froome and Wiggo show- awesome.
