Some periodic ramblings about bird, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, hovers and anything else that pops into my head.

Chi and Oysterbeds
So, first visit to Chichester to see the young Peregrines flying, thwarted by their laziness and grey clouds mostly, making photography a bit of a waste.
Later at Hayling first views of the tidal tern raft which seems to be very popular.
Lots of wind-blown Meadow Browns and Marbled Whites all blowing away in the breeze or clinging on for dear life. First for year Small/Essex Skipper wasn't hanging about either. Sadly, but not surprisingly, I couldn't find any Eristalinus aeneus, a coastal loving hoverfly.
