Birds and Butterflies

A sunny morning at Little Marlow GP.  The birding was fairly quiet but two Common Snipe were new in.  Two Common Sandpipers were flying around the edge of the lake and avoiding the sand spit, which is often where they like to feed.  Nice to see four Little Egrets present still after the successful breeding this year.  

Common Snipe.  - Maybe more hidden.

Grey Heron - Capturing the sun! 

Three of the Little Egrets

Linnet - One of two seen close to the public footpath along the N of the lake.

Treecreeper - Seen along the W side of the lake close to where they were breeding.
Fairly quiet this time of year but this one gave away it's presence.

Probing for insects under the bark.

Clouded Yellow - Unfortunately I could not get an open wing photo.  Seen to the N of the lake.
Four days earlier 4-6 were present in an area nearby.

Small Copper - The first I have seen for ages.

Common Blue - Several seen.
