Grizzlies

It's that time of year again; Grizzled Skippers are back on the wing, with at least 8 in evidence at Staunton Quarry this afternoon. I always enjoy seeing these.

Grizzled Skipper

Back to this morning, I once again failed to see any Arctic Terns at Collingham, and in fact didn't see too much of note at all; water levels are up slightly at Mons Pool meaning much of the best wader habitat has gone, at least temporarily. Still, it was nice to hear at least 2 Cuckoos (one at Collingham/Mons Pool and one at Meering).
