Sponsored pond get me out of here

Big mistake going to the pond this morning with a sponsored walk being held and very well attended resulting in the car parks being full by mid-morning even with the use of an overflow car park in Kites Hardwick and a bus put on to run people backwards and forwards from it plus the country park opened up for cars so we were out of their sharpish. Napton was peaceful in comparison with 2 Chiffchaff, 9 Raven, 12 Buzzard, Mistle Thrush and Great-spotted Woodpecker plus Brimstone and 3 Comma butterflies.

Had a look at Napton Reservoir which was quiet with only 2 Raven and 2 Reed Bunting for our efforts. More Brimstones seen on the way home. Bob came round in the afternoon to photograph the contents of a good nights catch in my moth trap.
