NEW FOREST - MILLERSFORD BOTTOM
It was another sunny afternoon and we went to the New Forest, this time we parked at the Ashley Walk car park, crossed the road to walk in Millersford Bottom.
There were very few butterflies, only Small Heaths, one or two dragonfly species, more damselflies, mainly Beautiful Demoiselles, and some spikes of Heath Spotted Orchids.
Birds included Willow Warbler, Green and Greater-spotted Woodpeckers, a Kingfisher, Linnets, Yellowhammer, and a family of Redstarts.
