I went for a walk with my
granddaughter, Clia, along the Grand Union Canal from Newton Harcourt towards
Kilby Bridge. Bird wise it was raher
quiet with Swallow, Blackcap and Whitethroat being the highlights. There were plenty of butterflies,
particularly whites, and I had eighty-seven involving ten species in just over
an hour. I saw five male Banded
Demoiselle, two White-legged Damselfly, a Common Blue Damselfly, two Blue-tailed
Damselfly and two Brown Hawkers.
The butterflies were Large
White [15]; Small White [8]; Green-veined White [11]; Small Tortoiseshell [3];
Comma [8]; Speckled Wood [1]; Gatekeeper [15]; Meadow Brown [7]; Ringlet [17]
and Large Skipper [2].
