A Calm and Humid Day

Short-toed Eagle

We awoke to a cloudy sky but quite humid.  Later the sun came through and it was very hot.  Noticeably more passserine migrants with lots of Blackcaps, Black Redstarts and Pied Flycatchers around the garden.  I also added Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff as well as 2 Garden Warblers, Wheatear and Subalpine Warbler.

Spotted Fritillary

Too a walk around the hill but only added a couple of Short-toed Eagles and 3 Ravens.  Butterflies were good with  few Chalkhill Blues, Brown Argus and a few superb Spotted Fritillaries.
