Went to St Mary's churchyard on the way home yesterday - such a lovely Summer day - the wildflowers were fantastic with drifts of oxeye daisy, burnet moths and the sound of grasshoppers. Quite a few mandarin at Hampden pond - perfect for them - wooded with an island. And then, just as I was about to give up, what I had been looking for....a spotted flycatcher showed brilliantly near the church. Not quite the good old days on Harrow Hill watching family parties in late summer but a real treat and reassuring that they are hanging on in suitably quiet and sheltered locations. Fantastic.
