14th June Sunday - sunny intervals, light mostly W-NW, 20C

Willey; morning

Six Stock Doves were disturbed from the barns where they nest and the Barn Owl too, he landed in a nearby tree but will be back there very soon.

A Red-legged Partridge was flushed from a gateway, but the Little Owl was not seen at its recent past location.  Two Red Kites patrolled overhead.  A Green Woodpecker called.  A Muntjac grunted loudly from the BH wood.

Newbold Quarry Park; afternoon.

I explored here for Butterflies, no Silver-washed Fritillary today, maybe to early but 11 species found, and unexpectedly this included the Marbled White.  

A family of Wrens and Blackbirds, Chiffchaff and Blackcap singing, a Great Crested Grebe and Mallard on the water.  A Collared Dove singing nearby.
