Weeting Heath

My last call on the way home was to Weeting Heath, for the Stone Curlews, of which I saw five birds from the West Hide, along with a couple of Curlew, lapwing, Woodpigeon, Stock Dove and Buzzard.

Down on the feeding Station were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Goldfinch, and Chaffinch, all present until, a male Sparrowhawk came thru. other things I noted were Meadow Brown Butterfly, Mother of Pearl Moth, and a Cinnabar Moth.

After Weeting I decided on a call to Paxton Pits, my final stop before home, what I thought was going to be a good visit turned out to be a disappointing one, Common Blue Damselfly, and a Variable Damselfly plus a single Common Darter,
