A Midsummer Forest Farm - 15/07/2013

The summer quiet is upon us, and a refreshingly shady and cool walk around Forest Farm was a relatively quiet one, though there were much higher levels of fish in the canal, a moorhen nesting inconspicuously in the middle of the canal, and two passing ladies pointed out this Common Spotted Orchid along the main canal path -

James and I headed up to Llanwonno last week to see the Nightjars and had some great views, with churring and wing clapping all thrown in to boot. Didn't quite enjoy the midges so much though, has to be said!! 

We also had a pair of Bullfinches in the garden which was a nice surprise, and the sparrows are regular everyday now.
