Today Beth joined me for a woodland wander and we ventured down to St Chad's Churchyard, a few minutes walk away. On the way we saw Mistle Thrush, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Blackbirds aplenty, Wren, Chaffinch, Wood Pigeon, Magpie and Jackdaw. In the churchyard, from a distance we watched a Blue Tit check out a potential nestbox. With the help of Beth's eagle-eyedness (she's very good, I'd recommend her to anybody out on a nature walk) we spotted a Small Tortoiseshell on the wing, second butterfly of the year in two days!
Beautiful.
