Walking down past the wildlife garden I was first greeted by two Robins who quickly flew off. Walking past a Hawthorn bush I notice the Honeysuckle growing in it has started to flower with lovely yellow almost white flowers. Entering the large copse I notice two Speckled Brown butterflies fluttering over a large patch of Stinging Nettles.
Coming out of the large copse and looking over the meadow I can see some Ox-Eye Daisies beginning to peak out from the long grass. Two more Speckled Brown butterflies fly past coming from the wooded sided and flying over the meadow.
Through into Saxon field I spot a large patch of Common Spotted Orchid. As walk along I start to notice there is Cuckoo Spit on a lot of the small scrubby Hawthorns which line the edges of the path. Just next door to the low-lying Hawthorn is a large patch of Crosswort with delicate yellow almost green flowers.
Ox-Eye meadow is beginning to live up to its name, its beginning to fill up with Ox-Eye Daisies interspersed with Pale Flax and Yellow Rattle which add more colour to the meadow.
I headed down to the cliff’s passing the mile markers as I went. At the bottom of the bottom mile marker a Squirrel could be found perching on one of the bottom corners he almost looked like he was admiring the view. Heading straight to Tilly Whim caves hoping to see an Adder but no such luck today.
A Fulmar could be seen gliding in and out from the cliffs. The Guillemot cave seemed as busy, possibly because there did not seem to be as many on the water as I have previously seen.
I decided to head back towards Tilly Whim and up the slope through woods for one last chance at spotting an Adder today but again no luck. Walking through the woods I noticed the Stinking Iris was not in flower yet unlike its counterpart along the cliffs.
