Tuesday the 22-5-12, started the day off just yards from my home looking for Speckled Wood Butterflies I have counted over 50 at this site but not a one today not sure if the first hatch of the year have died off before the good weather returned ,next West Hartford in the hope of a reeling Grasshopper Warbler but no sign today, did have a Garden Warbler which I got some recording of .
travelled up to Cresswell via Lynemouth Flash which only had some bathing Black Headed Gulls, Cresswell only the one Avocet I could see there where three Barnacle Geese a nice bright Yellow Wagtail and a Wheatear just north of the ponds.
Druridge no sign of the Garganey a group of 13(edit) Curlew included a partial Leucistic bird but taking photos against the light never gives good results, Small Copper and Wall Brown out and my first Orchid of the year , with a pair of Stonechats feeding young back along at cresswell.

Lovely to see the Wall Brown, its not one Ive seen around these parts (WYorkshire), although Ive had decent sightings during trips to Norfolk & Jersey over the last couple of years. Nice number of Curlews too. Linda
Thanks Linda but I'm afraid I made a typing error the Curlews where actually only 13 ! oops !!!!

Hi Brian,
where was the curlew i had one at the start of may,just after bells farm in the field behind the extended cottage.
Hi ST , It's proably the same bird as it was also at Cresswell, but i had it from the Budge screen.
Good to hear from you !
