Went on a rather long exercise walk today which enabled me to get to an area of upland and woodland with some interesting species including Tree Pipit, Lesser Redpoll, Jay and Spotted Flycatcher (one of which I had the pleasure of watching for an extended period while I sat in a sunny meadow eating my lunch). There were some interesting plants on the way including Lords and Ladies in damp woodland and Navelwort on scree. Insects were represented by many moths (including Chimney Sweeper and the very distinctive Speckled Yellow), Meadow Brown butterflies, Common Blue Damselflies and Midges! Intrigued by a feature on local maps called the "Dog Suicide Bridge". A bit of research revealed quite a story!
