Hoary Willowherb (Epilobium parviflorum) |
Wednesday 7 August 2019
To day was windy but warm, sun very hot out of the wind. Had a slight bit of rain. Not many flowers today, but still plenty of Butterflies. Noticed the birds today and I think my next trip here I will concentrate on the birds, a few feeding on the seed heads.
Saw Darren and his mate again and they had been looking for the Hobby , not a bird I know and by the look and size I would be hard for me not to think it was a kestrel.
High light was the Dragonflies.
