18th August Tuesday - mostly cloudy, shower before dawn, 22C, light W

Bittesby Country Park; afternoon.

Despite the very dry conditions persisting the park area does contain areas of flowers and greenery still and the main lake contains a reasonable amount of water.  But, generally quiet this time of day.

The two broods of Tufted Duck and Little Grebe brood were on the main lake.

A Kestrel was hunting and juv Buzzard calling with adult nearby.

Some butterflies were about especially Green-veined Whites and Speckled Woods, a Red Admiral and Peacock too.  Only one Meadow Brownseen.
