I did not have a planned visit to my St. Nicholas Church local patch site today but I did walk through part of it as part of an exercise walk.
After joining the access track by Larkins Tyres, I immediately saw a Red Fox sitting and enjoying the sun in the horse paddock.
During my visit to the site yesterday, I heard my first singing male Chiffchaff of the year in the wooded area at the eastern end of the cemetery. This morning, I heard another, but most probably the same bird, a short distance away in the area at the end of the access track from Larkins Tyres.
In this same area, I also saw my first butterfly species of the year, namely a single Red Admiral that flew rapidly through.
