My leg muscles haven’t been tested like this for some considerable period and they’re certainly telling me that I’m pushing the boundaries of my fitness levels. For this reason I decided to stick to a relatively flat walk inland to the sewage farm. I made a complete balls up with my route and ended walking an extra mile because of my, piss poor, planning. Another two additions to the trip list started with a European Roller perched on distant power lines, but flushed by a passing car before I could get close enough for some decent photos. The sewage farm was rather disappointing, if the truth were told, and it was a overflying Common Buzzard that provided the second tick for the day.
I suppose the day’s highlight has to be my discovery of a Glanville Fritillary. A lifer, which I managed to capture with long lens yet, can’t help thinking how much better I could have done had I been carrying the macro kit? Bee eaters continue to move north overhead, although not in the numbers of yesterday.
