HAMPSHIRE DOWNLAND

It was another glorious evening, so we walked on our favourite bit of Hampshire downland. Birds we saw or heard on the walk included Yellowhammer, Turtle Doves, Red-legged and Grey Partridges, Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat, Stock Dove, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff and Blackcap.

The Common-spotted Orchids are now at their best, and Fragrant Orchids are just starting.
