Photos taken here in this set are of: 1. Some massive mushrooms it was lovely to see. 2. One of the beautiful seas of chamomile it was a delight to see in the fields. 3, 4, 6 and 7. Nice field and sea views on a great walk round. 5. A Red Admiral I was fixated to see, fitting getting a photo of its star again on the final day of the Big Butterfly Count. 8. Stonechat. 9. Linnet, this rustic and plucky finch was a key bird seen on the walk seeing them in decent numbers. Watching them drink from puddles in gorgeous sunlight were lovely moments. 10. One of a couple of Roe Deers it was charming to see in the long grass of the fields, I always enjoy seeing these.

Hearing the shriek and seeing the beautiful large tern the Sandwich Tern as one flew by at the end was another bird highlight of the walk, with Common Tern seen hunting far out I believe, Cormorant and Lesser Black-backed Gull other coastal highlights. Buzzard, the quirky sight of Canada Geese in a field but we soon saw there was a pond we didn't know about beside them, Goldfinches, Song Thrush, Pied Wagtails, House Martin, Woodpigeons and a Rabbit were other good birds and mammals to see. My first ever Thick-legged hoverfly and a wealth of other butterflies including Holly Blue and Comma dancing along the lane, a nice Small Heath, Meadow Brown and Gatekeeper, Large and Small White and a Common Blue with a moth and other hoverflies Marmalade and possibly Hornet Mimic I believe seen were insect highlights. Pretty nightshade, ragwort, fleabane, lady's thumb aka redshank, yarrow, knapweed, bindweed, oxtongue, burdock, buttercup and bright cuckoo-pint berries were other key plants seen on the walk.

I saw a muntjac today, just a couple of hundred metres from my house. It had been leaving tracks for me all along my walk. I saw a cloud of linnets, too, almost murmurating over a field and then alighting into the rough to feed and almost disappearing, save for one keeping watch in a hawthorn tree. Beautiful rosy chest and little chattering noises as they took to the air again, and landed again. Both good rewards for exploring a new path today and braving the mud.
