Coming to the end of time off, it seemed churlish not to go out, so I tootled down to Arne to see what was around. It felt quiet, but as always, there are still things to see if you bother looking! Hope you enjoy

A green woodpecker in flight, that's a result PB. If I see them in flight it's generally the tail view as it rapidly disappears... A wall butterfly is always a nice find, I have only seen two in recent years. Lots of lovely photo's PB, worth the visit.

Thanks Snappy
TBH, when I took it, it was just "a bird flying". I was delighted when I got home and saw what bird it was I had heard one off in the distance, but didn't connect the two
