Horseshoe Plantation & Combe Valley - 22nd October

Another warm late October day encouraged a Comma to bask in the sunshine at Horseshoe Plantation. Several Corn Buntings singing on the west side of Belle Tout Wood together with a male and female Stonechat. At Shooters Bottom there were several Chiffchaffs and Goldfinches.

Early afternoon I drove to Crowhurst and walked into Combe Haven where I found two Clouded Yellows and a Small White near the lake where there is a small meadow with flowers including Hemp Agrimony. On the lake were several Shoveler and Wigeon.
