Valley Walk

We decided to take Hesper down the valley and as she is far to excitable and boisterous I had to leave the camera behind . We ventured further along the walk than we had previously done and it turned out very pleasant. Two new patch butterflies Angie photographed..the Comma and Gatekeeper, are now added to the list.
Half a dozen or so Swallows were perched on the wires at the end of the walk , also an elusive Chiffchaff and more obliging Wren were noted..
At the finish of the walk close to the Sewer works three Goldcrests were playing in the trees. Although Angie tried to get a top shot these little birds again won the battle.
