Today…couldn’t resist the lovely weather, so a trip out to Holland Haven and spent the afternoon wandering round after a morning of shopping. A fairly good view of a Kestrel surveying his patch before taking off.  Looks like a juvenile to me. A brief view of a Chiffchaff mixing with a few Long tailed Tits in some shrubs.

But the mild change in the afternoon temperature made such a change, felt like Spring. A few Bumblebee’s in flight, too far away and too quick to identify. But one thing that I did identify lying in the sun was an Adder. Apparently the area is known for Adders and a few have been seen yesterday and this morning. Fresh from hibernating, so it seems.
