It was a gentle walk around Farcet Fen enjoying a day-flying Barn Owl, Yellow Wags, song-flighting Sedge Warblers, Grey Partridges, Cown Bunting, Several Whitethroats, Brown Hares, dykes full of Large Red-eyed Dams and a couple of Hairy Dragons, and butterflies - loads of them.
Large an Small Whites, Peacock, Small Copper, countless Small Tortoiseshells and two Painted Ladies - the migrants have arrived at last assisted with recent days southerly winds.
