2nd September

Lighter NE winds this morning but still clear overhead conditions. Highlight was a Queen of Spain Fritillary which was watched for about 45 minutes before flying south. 



Birds highlights included Pied Flycatcher in the Farm Wood ( first of the autumn?), three Redstarts, three Whinchats, four Stonechats and two Wheatears. Apart from a Grasshopper Warbler in the Freedown, warbler numbers remain disappointing with only four Willow Warblers, 10 Whitethroats and seven Lesser Whitethroats.
