We had a bit of a lazy week, without that much walking, but the wildlife came to us with a decent moth trap at last, starring Eyed and Privet Hawk Moths. Yesterday we made up for things with a walk over to Arundel, 25 miles. It was a cracking day, and we had Ringlet, White Admiral and Silver-washed Fritillary in the Dover and at Arundel we finally had distant but clear views of Cattle Egret. This is probably my fifth attempt to get it on the on-foot list, all involving long walks, so it’s a relief to finally connect. On the way back we also had a female Stag Beetle in Worthing – we have missed them at home so far.
The long walk meant the small camera, so there’s not that many photos.
