Young birds

11 Brassy Longhorns (Nemophora metallica) were still on the Field Scabious at the Brickworks on Thursday. A couple of 6 Spot Burnets were also on Field Scabious and there were plenty of butterflies and other insects around the site.

Thursday seemed to be a popular fledging or exploring day as I came across noisy families of Bullfinches, Blue Tits, Robins, Whitethroats and Linnets. A pair of Red Kites was displaying overhead and a young Green Woodpecker was exchanging contact calls with its parent.
